Step 3
In this type of poker, each player receives two cards, they are called "pocket" cards. These two cards cannot be seen by anyone except the owner of these cards. Next, five community cards are laid out. They are used by all players to get combinations. Before the cards are dealt, the players must place their bets. The player to the left of the dealer posts the "small blind" - half of the minimum bet. The "small blind" sitting to the left of the caller pays the "big blind" - the minimum bet.
Step 4
This is followed by "preflop", at this stage the players either make a "big blind" bet and move on, either raise the bet or leave the game. The next stage is the "flop", in this round three cards out of five common ones are laid out on the table. Players can bet or raise or leave the game. Next, the "turn" is laid out on the table - the fourth community card. The last stage of the game is the river, where the dealer reveals the fifth community card.
Step 5
When all the community cards are laid out, and the bets are made, the players must show up - reveal their cards. The player with the strongest combination wins. If the forces are equal, the pot is divided in half. These are the most basic rules of the game, if you want to get better at poker, practice with your family or online games.
