How The Cutthroat Rule Plays Out
Cutthroat is the rule that shapes the whole table. Nobody partners up and nobody checks a hand down for a friend — each seat plays against every other seat, and you alone decide whether a pot is worth the chips. You start with two hole cards, then the community board arrives in stages, with a betting round before each new card. Fold,
call and raise sit as three buttons under your stack, and the pot total moves as bets land. Our Holdem Cutthroat runs in the browser, so a mid-range phone on mobile data is enough to hold your seat. Fold early and you can still watch the board play out.
