State Buttons:

• Auto Muck — Controls whether you automatically muck your Holdem Poker hand (decline to reveal your pocket cards), if permitted, at end of hand. Win/Loss allows you to control mucking for wins or losses separately.
• Auto Post Blind — Automatically posts your blinds in the Holdem Poker game when it is your turn to do so.
• Sit In — Indicates your desire to participate in the next hand of holdem poker play. If a "Sit Out" disc was in front of your seat, it will disappear and when the hand in progress has concluded, you will be dealt in on the next hand.
• Sit Out — Indicates your desire to sit out the next hand of play. When you have chosen to sit out, a red "Sit Out" disc will appear in front of your seat. If you sit out too long at a table, you will automatically be removed from the table.

Pre-Deal Game Controls:

• Don't Post Blind — Indicates that you will decline to post your Blind and you will not participate in this hand of Holdem Poker.
• Post Blind — Make the Blind bet required by virtue of your position to the left of the Dealer.
• Wait for Big Blind — After joining a table already in play, allows you to sit out until the Big Blind reaches you so that you do not have to pay an extra blind.

Pre-Action Game Controls:

• Call Any — This is a pre-action button, and indicates your intention to meet any amount that is raised before it gets to your turn to bet in the Holdem Poker round. Should only be used when you have a very strong hand.
• Check/Fold — This is a pre-action button, and indicates your intention to Check if possible or Fold if somebody else bets or raises before your turn in the Holdem Poker round.

Action Buttons:

• Bet — Depending on the style of poker you are playing (No Limit, Pot Limit, Fixed Limit), your betting options will differ. For Limit games, your only betting choice is whether to bet or not. The amount of the bet is defined by the limits of the game. For Pot Limit games, the range of possible Bet amounts is from the minimum bet to the amount in the pot. Everest Poker's Action Buttons will automatically set those bets for you in both Fixed Limit and Pot Limit games. For No Limit games, the bet amount is ranged from the minimum bet to the size of your remaining chip stack. In No Limit games, there are three ways to modify the Bet Amount: Move the slider, Use the Up/Down arrows or click in the black window and type in the amount. This button does not appear in Limit games.
• Bet Pot — Bet the amount presently in the pot. This button does not appear in Limit holdem poker games.
• Call — Meet the previous bet or raise in the holdem poker round with a bet of the indicated amount and do not raise your bet beyond that amount.
• Check — Stay in the Holdem Poker hand but do not bet or raise. Checking allows you to stay in the game at no additional risk or cost to you. You may only Check if you are the first player to act in a round of betting or if all preceding holdem poker players have Checked.
• Fold — Throw your holdem poker hand away when it is your turn to act. You choose not to meet the required bet to stay in the hand and forfeit your chance to win any of the pot.
• Fold & Show — Turn your cards over and show them to the table as you throw your holdem poker hand away. You choose not to meet the required bet but want to show your cards to the table. You only have this option when there are two players left in the hand including yourself.
• Min. Raise — Raise your bet by the minimum amount allowed. You will not see this option if you are playing Limit Poker.
• Muck — Decline to show your cards at the conclusion of a Holdem Poker hand. You can choose to muck when there is a better hand visible at showdown (meaning it is clear you lost), or when you win because all other players have folded. When you have the winning Holdem Poker hand and there are one or more players still active at the showdown, you must show your cards.
• Raise — Raise the bet in the round by at least as much as the previous bet.
