General
NLHE games are 9-handed.
There is no betting line; the racetrack line is a courtesy line.
UTG straddles are allowed in NLHE. Double straddles are considered blind raises, and therefore do not get last action preflop if the UTG straddler calls.
Most dealers seem to allow players in the hand to talk about the hand when heads up, but no cards may be revealed. Revealing cards during a hand will render the hand ineligible for a bad beat jackpot.
1/3 and 2/5 games do not allow running it twice or rabbit hunting.
Rake
10% to $5 max + $1 promo.
No flop, no drop.
Half rake when there are 5 players or less, although it’s unclear if this is supposed to be automatic or if you have to ask for it to get it, as different staff members have provided different answers. If you’re 5-handed, ask the dealer and he or she will oblige.
Bad Beat Jackpot
Both hole cards must play for both players.
For quads, the hand must be pocket pair (as opposed to trips on the board, the fourth from the player’s hand, and the kicker from the player’s hand).
Split is 40%/20%/40% for loser/winner/table share divided for anyone dealt into the jackpot hand.

Points
Comps are earned at $1/hr for poker play.
Why am I not seeing accurate points listed under the My Profile page of the online portal?
Point accrual is active, however, the system isn’t fully integrated yet. The onsite Red Card desk is your best bet for obtaining an accurate report of your point total.
PokerAtlas
PokerAtlas can be used to register online for all games except for 1/3 NL. The EBH Poker Room made the decision not to open the online waitlist for this game, however, there hasn’t been a waitlist for 1/3 games since the opening few weeks of EBH.
Tournaments
The EBH staff has stated that tournaments will start in mid-September.
Food/drink
Tableside food service from the dedicated Poker Grill is available from 10 A.M. until 3 A.M.
