Tap a seat on the table to learn about that position
Each player receives 2 private hole cards. The SB and BB post forced bets. Action starts left of the BB moving clockwise — fold, call, or raise.
Three cards dealt face-up and shared by all players. Betting starts with the first active player left of the button. No pre-flop bet? You can now check.
A 4th community card is dealt. In limit games, bets double here. The pot is larger — every decision carries more weight. Marginal draws become costly to chase.
The final card is dealt. No more cards to come — your hand is made. Last betting round, then the showdown if more than one player remains.
Remaining players reveal their hole cards. Each player makes the best 5-card hand from their 2 hole cards + 5 community cards. You can use both, one, or none of your hole cards — best 5 from 7 always wins.
