 ===== Game Types ===== ===== Game Types =====
 +All of the games are of the Texas Hold'em variant; however, there are various different formats that this game comes in.
 +
 === No Limit === === No Limit ===
 +This is the most common form of Texas Hold'em and allows betting or raising any amount up to the amount of chips you have at the table. You can find more detailed rules [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betting_in_poker#No_limit|here]].
  
 === Limit === === Limit ===
 +This is similar to No Limit Hold'em, except that there are fixed limits placed on the amounts that can be bet or raised. You can find more detailed rules [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betting_in_poker#Fixed_limit|here]].
  
 === Cash Game === === Cash Game ===
 +A cash game is the most common form of playing poker. You buy-in to the table for a specified range and play until you are done. You can get up and leave with your chips in hand at any time. If you run out you can always buy-in again.
  
 === Sit and Go === === Sit and Go ===
 +A Sit and Go is similar to a tournament, but it is limited to one table. You buy-in for a set amount and play until you run out of chips. If you are one of the last standing, you win a percentage of the prize pool.
  
 === Tournament === === Tournament ===
 +Tournaments are the exact same as a Sit and Go; however, they are always scheduled in advance and can have more than 9 players spread across many tables. As players get knocked out, the tables get re-balanced until there is a final table. The percentage awarded and number of players in the money depends on the number of players that entered the tournament.
 +
 +=== Hosted ===
 +Any player-created table is considered a hosted table if the player that started it has Citizenship. What this means is that the "host" or table starter is able to kick any other player from the table and that player won't be able to joint that specific table again. If the host leaves the table, then it becomes a regular table and nobody has the kick power anymore.
