Here are some important points which may help you understand the Paddy Points system a little better.
- Once you are involved in a pot that generates rake, you are earning Paddy Points. Please read the raked hand table to get a much better understanding of exactly how many Paddy Points you are earning.
- The amount of rake taken per pot is capped, so there is a maximum to the amount of points which can be earned per hand, regardless of the pot size.
- No rake is taken from pots preflop therefore, if a flop is not seen no points are awarded. If a flop is seen, it simply means some body has called a bet, creating a pot, and that generates Paddy Points.
- Of course, the more pots you play, the more points you get. So if you call a bet and the pot builds, you will gain more Paddy Points. If you stay out of the hand you won't.
- All players who see the flop in a hand, will get an equal amount of points, based on the Paddy Points table below.
Please make sure that you read the raked hand table as it will help you understand the whole system.
