"One Chip" Rule - aka the "Rob Rule"

Next to string-bets, the one chip rule (sometimes referred to as the over-sized chip rule) is probably one the least understood poker rules and can easily confuse new poker players. Simply put, a bet of one chip (or bill) is a call unless you verbally state otherwise. If you are facing a $5 bet and bet one $20 chip - that is a call of $5 and the dealer will refund you $15. if you intend to raise, you must verbally state "raise" before you release your chips or move them forward.

On the first round, the opening bet made with one chip or bill on the first round is considered a call of the bring-in amount (big blind). On any succeeding round, the first bet is equal to the size of the one chip or bill, unless an announcement to the contrary is made.

Substitutions - aka the "Keith Rule"

Due to the lowest tournament score being dropped from each player's total score, substitutions are not allowed for regular season games. Substitutions are never allowed for the Final Table.
