The Game

Each player is dealt two cards face down known as players hold or pocket cards. Players bet on the strength of their two cards.

The dealer then burns a card and deals three cards face up, this is known as the “Flop”. These three cards are communal cards for the use of all players.

There is another betting round with players including the Flop in their hand.

After burning a card another card is then dealt face up called the “Turn” and again betting continues.

Lastly the fifth and final card is dealt (after a burned card) known as the “River” and the final round of betting commences where players use the two cards in their hand and the five communal cards to come up with their best poker hand.

All players that are remaining in the game then begin to reveal their hands, this is known as the “Showdown”. The best hand wins the pot!
