# flags

#### flags

Hand flags that may be relevant. Special characteristics about a hand that may be needed to fully understand the hand. This is easily expanded without hand history format change.

**Nullable:** true

{% hint style="info" %}
Can be omitted, null or empty array if there are no flags associated with the hand.
{% endhint %}

**Type:** array (of strings)

**Options:**

* "Run\_It\_Twice": Two \[or more] sets of board cards are used in the play of the same hand.  This flag should also be used for hands that are run three times or more.
* "Anonymous": The players at the table are all anonymous players and do not have a specified name or ID associated with them for historical records.
* "Observed": The hand was observed and the hero was not dealt into the hand.
* "Fast":  Fast poker game.  Any fast fold variant where once you fold you immediately move to the next hand.
* "Cap": A game that limits the amount that each player can wager per hand.
* "Bomb\_Pot": A hand with extra money in the pot and which goes directly to the flop with no preflop action.

{% hint style="warning" %}
If you need to flag a hand that is currently not an option then please see the [Change Request Process](/contact-us/change-request-process.md) to learn how to submit your request for inclusion in the specification at which point we will add it and increase the specification version number.
{% endhint %}

**Example:**

An anonymous table that was observed:

```
"flags": [
    "Anonymous",
    "Observed"
]
```
