Rule 31 - Cards Visible
- 31.1
Players must keep their cards on the table and in full view at all times; above table-level and never past the edge or rail of the table.
- 31.2
Cards should not be covered by a player’s hand in a manner that completely conceals them.
- 31.3
Players may be permitted to use a card protector object, so long as it does not interfere with the visibility of anyone’s cards or chip stack at the table. Management reserves the right to dictate the size and object, appropriate for use as a card protector.
