Click on any poker games listed above for a detailed description of that
game's rules. If you're a new online poker player, we recommend that you
read our
basic poker rules
section before joining a table. Also check out 4FunPoker'
glossary of poker terms.
4Fun is proud to offer a wide variety of multi-table poker tournaments
in all of the games we offer. And by popular request, we are happy to offer
play money pot-limit and no-limit poker on our
free poker tables.
These are in addition to our standard fixed-limit play money games.
Like a traditional Las Vegas poker room, if a table that you want to play at
is currently full you can request to be put on the waiting list. Only when
you're playing online, getting on the waiting list for a poker table is as
easy as clicking a button. Once a seat becomes available at the poker table,
you will automatically be asked if you want to sit down and join that game.
At 4FunPoker, no matter which table you decide to play at, you will always
be playing poker against real online poker players. Your fellow players may
live down the street or halfway around the world, but they are guaranteed to
be playing on their own behalf. That's because, unlike some other online
poker rooms, at 4FunPoker you will never play against any bots, shills
(paid players), computer opponents or against the 'house' in any way.
You can review more of our policies and rules on our
poker room rules
page.
Room Limits
4FunPoker is proud to offer a large selection
play money poker
games, from micro-limits of $0.02/$0.04 up to high stakes games of
$100/$200. 4FunPoker also offers no-limit tables, with games of $0.01/$0.02
blinds and $1.00 buy-ins up to $10/20 blinds, $400 buy-in games. If you are
interested in playing for real money, check out our free poker page.
Minimum Table Buy-In
The minimum buy-in our poker room for limit tables is ten times the small
bet (the bet on the first two betting rounds). For example, on a $10/$20
table, the minimum buy-in would be $100. For no-limit poker games, the
buy-in is twenty times the small bet.
All-In
When a player puts the last of their poker chips into a pot, that player is
said to be all-in. An all-in player is not eligible to win any money past
their final bet. The excess part of the bet is either returned to the
bettor, or used to form a side pot with another player(s) who matched the
amount of the bet. There is no limitation on the number of side pots.
However, the all-in player will be eligible for the main pot, and therefore
cannot be forced to fold from the hand.
Sometimes a player has enough chips to continue betting or calling during a
hand, but has been disconnected and is unable to respond. In this case, the
player is also deemed to be "all-in" for the amount of chips he or she has
bet on that particular hand. If this happens repeatedly, it probably means
that the person has a poor Internet connection. While rare, if this happens
to you while playing at 4FunPoker, we recommend that you leave the poker
table for a period of time until your Internet connection improves. After
that, you may rejoin the poker room and resume play as normal.
If a player fails to act within the allotted time (usually 30 seconds) while
still being connected to 4FunPoker, the hand is automatically folded and a
corresponding email is sent to the player explaining why their hand was
folded. This system is put in for a number of reasons, but primarily to stop
players from abusing "all-ins".
No All-In Tables
These tables are identified by the words "no all-in" in parentheses after a
table name. These poker tables do not provide the all-in protection
described in the section above. If you disconnect from a no all-in table,
you are given extra time to reconnect. However, if you are unable to respond
after the extra time given, your hand will be folded. If you have a poor or
unreliable Internet connection, we recommend that you don't play at the no
all-in poker tables.
High Speed Poker Tables
These tables are identified by the words "high speed" in parentheses after a
table name. These special tables are designed for those players who want to
keep the game moving at a faster pace than a standard table. These are the
differences with a high speed poker table:
1) You receive only 15 seconds to act in a Limit poker game, instead of 25.
2) You receive only 20 seconds to act in a no limit and pot limit poker
game, instead of 35.
3) You only have 1 second to show or muck, instead of 3 seconds.
4) The pot is pushed to the winner faster.
5) The showdown is over faster, in 2 seconds instead of 4.
In addition, "auto-posting" of blinds is required at a high-speed poker
table. When you sit down, you're automatically in "Wait for Big Blind" mode,
and will post at your first normally scheduled big blind. If you wish to
begin play immediately, uncheck "Wait for Big Blind" and on the next
available hand your big blind will be posted and you will be dealt in.
If during the course of play you want to take a break when the blinds reach
you, then click on "Sit out next blind". You will continue to be dealt in
until the blinds reach you, at which time you will be placed in "Sitting
Out" mode.
Game Issues
In the rare event that our poker room server crashes, all transactions will
be posted to your online 4FunPoker account at the completion of each hand.
When a hand cannot be completed for any reason, all of the players' accounts
will be restored to the way they were at the beginning of the hand. All bets
are considered off and a new hand will be dealt. If a poker tournament is
interrupted by a server crash, the poker tournament will resume play from
the beginning of the current hand.
