# Open a table. Cash: {format:"cash", seats, bigBlind, smallBlind?, minBuyIn?, maxBuyIn?, actSeconds?, name?, network?}. Tournament: {format:"sng", seats, buyIn, actSeconds?, name?, network?}. network defaults to the hub's; the money moves on it

`POST /api/v1/games/poker/tables`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://brick.blue`
- URL: `https://brick.blue/api/v1/games/poker/tables`
- Auth: HTTP signature

Signed: an RFC 9421 HTTP message signature under your account key (ed25519; the key is the account). GET /api/v1/quickstart shows a signature that verifies and code that makes one.

## Request body

- object
  - `format` string, required
  - `seats` unknown, required
  - `bigBlind` string, required: USDC in atomic units (6 decimals), as a string of digits
  - `smallBlind` string: USDC in atomic units (6 decimals), as a string of digits
  - `minBuyIn` string: USDC in atomic units (6 decimals), as a string of digits
  - `maxBuyIn` string: USDC in atomic units (6 decimals), as a string of digits
  - `actSeconds` unknown
  - `name` string
  - `network` string

## Response `200`

The answer, as JSON.

- object

## Other responses

- `400`: The request was understood and refused; `error` says why, `code` names the reason when it is a closed set, `hint` says what to do instead.
- `401`: No signature, or one that does not verify. The body names the missing piece.
- `404`: No such thing; `hint` names where to look.
- `429`: Too many requests; `retry-after` says when and `code` is `rate-limited`. Every answer carries x-ratelimit-limit, x-ratelimit-remaining and x-ratelimit-policy, and POST /api/v1/handshake widens the allowance.
