A fine, useful, timely resource, this book has 17 sections including a five-page index, ever so valuable as a time-saver when the inevitable incident or controversy occurs at the tables. As the authors explain, "This rulebook considers fixed limit, spread limit, pot-limit and no-limit games." To be as clear as possible, they cover Texas hold'em, seven stud and seven stud high-low split, razz, five stud, Omaha high and high low split, draw and lowball. For the generous price this book covers plenty of territory including timing and application of rules, grounds for expulsion, seating, spectators, right to inspect cards, chips and cash on the table and house employees. The book is excellent for novice dealers. Covers procedural errors in dealing, not enough cards in the deck, if a player asks how many cards were drawn, the "exposed card" situation, split pots, players who notice errors, acting out of turn, splashing the pot, dead hands, intentionally exposing cards -- the kind of trouble situations that crop up in every poker arena. How are they handled or should be handled? The book helps solve the problems quickly. Another major chapter focuses on Dealers, the Deal, and the Deck, with sections on the Shuffle and Cut; Scooping Bets; Burning; Fouled Deck; Dealing Community Cards Early; Misdealing the Flop, Turn or River; Player Dealt Games and Mechanical Shufflers. For those even more focused on time and money, a small chapter discusses collection and rake. Other rules included Table Signs; Shills and Prop Players; Collusion; English Only; Telephones at Table; Profanity and Verbal Abuse. The section on Poker Etiquette includes Talking and Critiquing; Treating Dealers Courteously; Leaving the Table; Deliberate Obstruction; Expediting the Game. 171 pages, paperbound, 2005.
