The rules apply to all poker games, regardless of nature and structure. Rules peculiar to particular games are discussed in a separate Article. Subject and Article headings are not part of rules, but are included only for indexing purposes and ease of finding rules. For ease of syntax the rules use the masculine for all personal pronouns. When any word included in the list of definitions at Article 18 is used in a Rule, then that word shall be construed pursuant to the definition provided here, to the exclusion of all other definitions.
All rules automatically incorporate the Definitions.
