Everything you need to know about Cash Games on ClubGG: all the stakes, all the formats, bankroll management and rake structure. From $0.01/$0.02 up to $25/$50.
Pick the level that fits your bankroll and experience. Every move up requires 20-30 buy-ins in the bank and a proven sample size.
Every format has different dynamics, pace and strategy. Pick the one that speaks to you.
The most popular format. 6 players, position is critical, action is elevated compared to full-ring.
Fast-fold — every fold moves you instantly to a new table. 3-4x more hands per hour. Raises rake pressure.
Only two options before the flop. Pure push/fold with pure math.
Pot-Limit Omaha — 4 hole cards. High variance, huge action, smaller edges between players.
Only 36 cards (5s and up). Flushes beat full houses, top hands shift less. Fast and fun format.
A hybrid cash format with tournament elements. GGPoker's unique structure.
Variance protection is the difference between profit and going bust
Minimum for a stable level. For high-variance formats (PLO, Short Deck) — 40-50 buy-ins.
Before moving up — 30 BI at the new level + 100K-hand sample at the current level with a positive win-rate.
If a shot fails — drop back down immediately. Ego is the biggest enemy of a bankroll.
3 buy-ins lost in a day = end the session. Tilt is manufactured variance — don't gamble on emotion.
At microstakes rakeback can be 30-50% of your win-rate. GGPoker's Fish Buffet + Honeymoon are a must.
If the bankroll runs 50% over what you need — take profits. Poker is a profession, not gambling.

In a Cash Game every chip equals real money — you can sit down or leave at any moment, the blinds stay fixed, and your stack is cash you can cash out immediately. In a tournament you pay one buy-in, blinds rise over time, and payouts are based on final standings.
You can start with $10 on Rush & Cash ($2 buy-in). Professional recommendation: at least 20-30 buy-ins per level — that's $40-$60 to start at the very lowest stakes. For serious bankroll management, see our guide.
Rake is the fee the house takes from every pot (typically 3%-5% with a cap). At low stakes rake is the single biggest factor that prevents profit. GGPoker offers Fish Buffet + Honeymoon for new players, which return a large share of the rake as rakeback.
Most professional players prefer 6-max: more hands per hour, more meaningful position, and less patience required. Full-ring (9-max) suits beginners who want to play tight and face fewer complex spots.
Auto-rebuy automatically tops up your stack to a full 100BB when you drop below a threshold. Without it you end up playing short-stack and losing EV. Always enable it with auto top-up.

GGClub guides you personally through picking a format and stake, setting up your tables and optimizing your rakeback. Full Hebrew and English support end to end.
