House rules

Re-buys:
You can reload between hands up to the max buy-in OR half the big stack, whichever is greater.
No “Going South”:
You may not remove any portion of your buy-in or winnings from the table until cash-out.
Smoking is only permitted OUTSIDE.
Please step outside back gate, trash is on far side of garage, and try to air out before returning.
Keep hole cards on the playing surface.
While in the hand, cards should NOT be on the rail, off the table, or elsewhere.
Verbal declaration while in turn is binding.
Starting with “I see/call your bet, and XXX” is a CALL. If you want to raise, start with saying “I raise”
Opening bets:
Must be at least 1 BB (25¢/50¢ game, would require a 50¢ min bet after the flop).
Single chip action:
When one chip is put in play WITHOUT first announcing raise, this constitutes a CALL.
Raises:
When facing a bet, any subsequent raise must be at least DOUBLE the previous bet/raise.
DO NOT splash the pot.
All betting should ideally be placed on or just inside the betting line directly in front of you so that all players can clearly see the amount bet/called.
Dealer runs the table.
Dealer should keep the action moving, move dealer button, make change after each betting round is complete, push chips into the pot, push/pull pot to winner(s).
Straddling is allowed, but can only be started when UTG (first to act after mandatory BB).
First straddle is max of 2x BB, re-straddle must be 2x the previous straddle. MAX of 3 re-straddles per hand.
For example - 25¢/50¢ game: SB posts 25¢, BB posts 50¢, UTG straddles for $1, UTG+1 re-straddles for $2, UTG+2 re-straddles for $4, MP1 chooses NOT to use the last re-straddle and action begins with that player, facing $4 to call.
Rabbit hunting is allowed.
Any player requesting a hunt must reveal both hole cards.
One player per hand.
No sharing live or folded hands, and no digging in the muck. If you show one person your cards, you must show all at end of play. This includes shown folds.
No table talk:
Comments as to what affects the cards on the board would have had on your hand after you have folded or comments concerning what other players may have in their hand and/or what actions they should take are inappropriate until after the hand is over.
Cards speak:
Any verbal declaration as to the content of a player's hand is not binding. The pot will be awarded to the best hand at showdown, even if a player misreads the hand.
Out-of-turn action is binding, unless a player sitting before that action changes it with a bet or raise.
A "call" or “raise” may be ruled not binding if it is obvious that the player grossly misunderstood the amount wagered (e.g., did not notice a raise, or mis-heard a raise amount). In a gross misunderstanding situation, the player may withdraw the wager and reconsider the action, provided that no one else has subsequently acted.

The house reserves the right to make decisions in the spirit of fairness, even if a strict interpretation of the rule may indicate a different ruling.
For clarification on any rules that are not covered here, please consult Robert's Rules of Poker. Where RRoP differs from the house rules, the House rules will take precedence. All decisions made by the house are final.

Horse race rules

Starting the game

Prepare the dice, a deck of cards, and the horse race game board
Discard the Aces, Kings, and Jokers, and it will leave 44 cards
Shuffle and deal the 44 cards evenly and discard the remaining
Each player must pay the entry fee for the race ($0.25 ante set aside for Jockey purse - person who rolls the winner)

The Scratch Round

Place the horses at their starting gates
Four horses must be scratched before the race starts
Highest roll will be "starting player" (roll off if tied) and that player rolls the dice for the first horse to be scratched. (For example, if a three and five are rolled, the 8 horse is scratched). Move the 8 horse to the first scratch hole behind its starting gate and all players that show an 8 card in their hand pays $0.25 per card and the 8s are all discarded.
The player to the left of that player rolls for the second scratched horse. If they roll an already scratched horse, roller pays the scratch fee and passes the dice to next player. If not previously scratched, that horse # moves to the second scratch hole behind its starting gate and anyone holding that card(s) in their hand pays $0.50 per card and all of those cards are discarded.
Continue this for the third and fourth horses to scratch, discarding the card(s) of that horse # from player's hands and those player's paying to the pot (3rd scratch $0.75 per card / 4th scratch $1 per card)

The Race

The horses remaining at the gate are ready to start racing
The next person to the left of the last scratch roller, begins the race by rolling the dice
If player totals up a horse that's not scratched, move that horse one spot forward towards finish line
If player totals up a scratched horse, pay the scratch fee ($.25/.50/.75/$1) and pass the dice to the left
Play continues around the table, either paying scratch fee, or moving a horse until one reaches the finish line

Ending the game

Your cards are your shares of each horse in the race
Each card with the winning horse's number wins 25% of the pot (minus jockey purse). For example, if horse number 9 wins and you have two 9s in your hand, you would win half the pot ( 2 nines x 25% = 50% ). If you have 0 nines in your hand, YOU GET NOTHING. GOOD DAY SIR!
If multiple races will be run, the person the left of the winning jockey is the new "starting player" and the game resets
