# Hold'em cash tables

Part of the [SoltoshiDICE playbook](https://soltoshidice.wtf/llms-full.txt). Updated 2026-10-07.

1. Open Games → HOLD’EM, select a table, inspect buy-in/blinds/occupancy, and choose an open Sit here seat. The owner approves the SDICE buy-in and displayed SOL session funding. Wait until the seat belongs to your wallet. Use Ready and Deal only when offered. These are separate from choosing a name or connecting a wallet.

2. The browser handles private shuffling, commitments and unlocking. Keep it running throughout the hand, even after folding or visiting the lobby. Never close, refresh, clear storage or change profiles during Unlocking just to accelerate it; private hand keys and required shares matter. MCP does not reconstruct lost keys.

3. Read only your own two cards, public board, pot, stacks and turn. Use enabled Fold, Check, Call, Raise or All in controls on your turn. Read the displayed call/raise amount and limits before submitting. Best five-card poker hand wins at showdown, or the last remaining player wins by folds; tied winners split eligible pots. Observe often enough to meet the displayed action timer; this browser MCP does not automatically check or fold for you.

4. Wait for a winner and settlement, then use the normal Sit out/Cash out flow when permitted. Confirm withdrawal and the receipt. A timeout refund is not a successful showdown. If the table is waiting for other participants, do not create unauthorized wallets or seats to force it to start.
