Creating a table: getting started

In the club lobby tap Create New Table. You pick the game first, then the settings screen opens. The numbers below match the numbers on the screenshots: go through them top to bottom and tap Create.

For your first table use NLH, Ring Game, 6 seats — a cash hold’em table players can join and leave any time. It’s the easiest way to check blinds and rake before opening the rest of your line-up.

Some settings can’t be changed on a running table — you’d have to close it and create a new one. Save a good set-up with Save Template (32) and create future tables from the template in seconds.

Choosing the game (screenshot 1)

• 1 — NLH (No Limit Hold’em). PLO (Omaha) and 6+ (Short Deck) are next to it.
• The Template tab and Recurring Management on this screen stay inactive until you’ve saved a template or created a recurring table — they aren’t available the first time.

Basics (screenshot 2)

• 2 — Ring Game / SNG / Tournament: cash table, Sit & Go (starts when it fills) or a scheduled tournament.
• 3 — Title: the table name in the lobby (e.g. “NLH 0.01/0.02”).
• 4 — Pin to the Top: pin the table to the top of the club lobby.
• 5 — Bad Beat Jackpot: the table takes part in the bad beat jackpot (pots contribute to it).
• 6 — Private Game: a restricted-access table, not open to every member.
• 7 — Squid Game: a special mode — everyone must win at least one pot; the last player without a win pays the others.
• 8 — All-In or Fold: an AoF table — all-in or fold only.
• 9 — Table Size: number of seats, from heads-up to 9-max. 6-max is the most popular.
• 10 — Action Time: time per decision — 13–25 seconds. 15 sec is a good start.

Time, blinds and buy-in (screenshot 3)

• 11 — Time Bank: extra time for tough decisions — a starting bank plus top-ups every N hands.
• 12 — Blinds: the table stakes. Micro / Low / Medium / High presets and a slider — e.g. 0.01/0.02.
• 13 — Ante: an ante from every player, off by default.
• 14 — Straddle: allow a straddle — a voluntary blind raise before the deal.
• 15 — Buy-in: minimum and maximum buy-in. 0.40 / 2 at 0.01/0.02 blinds is 20–100 big blinds.
• 16 — Buy-in Authorization: every buy-in must be approved by a club admin.

Rake and game features (screenshot 4)

• 17 — Fee (Cap): rake — a percentage of the pot (Fee) and the maximum per hand (Cap). 3% with no cap is expensive for players; above-market rake is the top reason for bad reviews.
• 18 — CallTime: a rule against hit-and-run play — see the “i” tooltip in the app.
• 19 — No Rathole: a player who leaves can’t come back with a smaller stack for the set time (e.g. 6 hours).
• 20 — Bomb Pot: periodic bomb pots — everyone antes and the hand starts on the flop.
• 21 — Double Board: two boards, the pot is split between them.
• 22 — All-in Insurance: insurance in all-in spots.
• 23 — EV Cashout: take your equity in an all-in without waiting for the run-out.
• 24 — Run it Multi Time: run the board several times in an all-in.

Start, restrictions and length (screenshot 5)

• 25 — No Turn No Show: a card-showing rule for hands that end before the turn (see “i” in the app).
• 26 — Auto Start: how many players start the table automatically — e.g. 2.
• 27 — Auto Extension: automatically extend the table when its time runs out.
• 28 — Mandatory VPIP: a minimum share of hands played — against nits who just sit.
• 29 — Game Restriction: anti-collusion — IP, GPS, Device (one device) and Chatting (chat off).
• 30 — Recurring Table: the table is recreated automatically after it ends.
• 31 — Game Length: how long the table runs — e.g. 12:00 hours.
• 32 — Save Template / Create: save the settings as a template or create the table.

Done (screenshot 6)

• 33 — the table appears in the club lobby: NLH, 0/6 players, 0.01/0.02 blinds, 0.40 buy-in and the time left.
