Some Player Needs

Of course, every player has needs. At times, the player wants to take a break, chat when bored or would like to meet some new friends or at rare times, even adjust sounds or animation (if into online poker).

Taking a Break

A player often needs to take a break. Sometimes because he or she needs to go to the bathroom or else just plainly needs to have some moments away from the poker table because of pressure.

Well, a player who wants to take a break can actually just click on the “Sit out” button or check the “Deal me out next hand” check box. Options vary from one poker client to another. Basically, once allowed to take a break, player will be dealt out and won’t pay any blinds or antes. If he or she wants to go back and play, he or she just needs to click the “I’m back” button.

Normally, player is only allowed to sit out two rounds of blinds, which is 15 or more hands at a full table. If more than two rounds, player can’t go back anymore to play and his or her chips will be returned to his or her account.

Also, there are instances when the player misses the blinds while he or she’s having his or her break and when this happens, player either has to “make up the blinds” or otherwise wait for the blind to reach him or her naturally. When player wishes to make up the blinds, he or she should post an amount equal to the sum of the blinds.

Chatting

All poker clients nowadays allow players to chat with the other players. The player who wishes to chat with other players because of boredom or just wants to meet new friends can just look for the one-line text box near the text display area and start chatting. However, at times, player can only chat if he or she is not seated at the table or is restricted to chatting with seated players (depending on the poker client).

Adjusting Sounds or Animation

If a player has a problem with the sounds or animation on the screen, he or she can actually make some adjustments. Most poker clients nowadays will allow the player to turn on and off the sounds and the animation. He or she just needs to look for the “Options” menu on the lobby window or else on the dealer tray.
