The rules you use most.
Protect your hand
Keep your cards visible and protected. Table all cards properly when competing at showdown.
Act in turn
Follow the action and make your intention clear using recognised terms such as check, bet, call, raise, fold and all-in.
Keep chips visible
Higher-denomination chips must remain identifiable. Stack chips so opponents can reasonably estimate your count.
One player, one hand
Do not discuss strategy, reveal live cards or seek assistance while a hand is in progress.
Stay at the table
You must be at your seat to receive a live hand and remain at the table while action is pending.
Devices away
Do not use phones, charts, betting apps or poker strategy tools while holding a live hand.
TPT house application
When a ruling is needed.
Stop the action and call “Floor”. Do not continue arguing the hand at the table. Explain the facts clearly when asked.
TDA rules supplement Rockets and TPT house rules. If circumstances are unusual, the floor may consider multiple rules and the best interests of the game.
