Poker Lobby

How to play @ Chocolatepoker.com

The lobby contains the lists of players, games and tournaments, enabling you to navigate to the location of your choice. It also contains links to the Poker Cashier, Help and Contact information. The central area of the Lobby displays lists of players, tables, games and tournaments. The lobby can provide you with a wide range of information, easily selected by clicking on the tabs across the top of the screen. Within each list, you can sort the information alphabetically or numerically by clicking on the heading of any column. For example, in the Players List, clicking on the head of the 'Names' column will sort the list by Player's Name alphabetically. Clicking again will re-sort the list in reverse alphabetical order.

The tabs access the following lists:

Players: The list of players currently logged on; their name; their status (e.g. watching, in lobby, playing etc.) and their location. You can use the player search tool to look for your buddies by ticking the 'Buddies' checkbox.

Poker Game Selection Tabs: This is the default view. The Game tabs show the game types available (Texas Hold'em, Omaha, Omaha Hi-Lo) and, by selecting one, a list of available games is displayed. Doubling-clicking on a game or selecting it and clicking the 'Join Table' or 'Watch Table' buttons will take you to that table. The columns of the room list table are explained below:

•    Stakes - The stakes used at this table.

•    Players - The number of players currently playing at this table (not including the dealer).

•    Avg. Pot - The average pot per game at this table for the last 50 hands.

•    Plrs/flop - What percent of players, who started the hand, stayed in until the flop card. This figure is an average calculated based on the last 50 hands.

•    Hnds/Hr - The number of dealt hands per hour on that table.

•    Tournaments - This tab lists the scheduled tournaments, providing basic information and indicating the status - whether "upcoming", "finished" or open for "registration". Clicking on a tournament provides further information and, if applicable, the registration screen.
