You may click words in "Quotations" to take you to the poker vocabulary section of the site, where that term will be explained. Lets begin.


"Pre-Flop" Action: This is the begining of the hand. Before any cards are dealt out the "Small Blind" and "Big Blind" are posted by the two players to the left of the "Button".

This button moves one player to the left at the end of every hand.

After the blinds have been posted, each player is dealt two cards down, these are your "Hole" cards. There will be a round of betting that will start with the player to the left of the Big Blind.

Each player will get up to four options: "Call", "Raise", "Re-Raise" or "Fold".

After the round of betting has finished, the remaining players get to see a "Flop".

            

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
                          


The "Flop": This consists of three "Community Cards" that are dealt face up in the middle of the table, for use by all players to make their hand. Another round of better will start, this time beginning with the Small Blind; If the Small blind has folded the closest player still involved to the left of the Small Blind acts first.

Each player can receive up to five options: "Check", Raise, Re-Raise, Call, or Fold.


     After this round of betting has finished, the remaining                                  players see a "Turn" card.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________





The "Turn": This is another community card that is dealt face up in the middle of the table, for use by all players. Another round of betting will begin, starting with the first person to the left of the button who's still involved in the hand.


After this round of betting has finished, the "River" will be dealt out for all remaining players.

              

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________




The "River": This is another community card, also the last card that gets dealt out in a hand. Another round of betting begining will begin.

 After this round of betting the remain players will flip over their Hole cards for a "Showdown".
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________


The "Showdown": This is where the winning hand is decided, if there are multiple players left at the end of a hand. Remaining players starting with the player to the left of the button show their Hole cards; Unless a player raised on the River, then the showing starts with them and proceeds to the left. After the winning hand is decided that player takes in the "
Pot".
**If two players have hands that rank the same; Such as the same, pair, two pair, or three of a kind, it goes to a "Kicker"  before the pot is split**

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Your "Hand": Your hand will consist of five cards, you can use as many of the community cards as you need to make up your hand along with your Hole cards.






 **********

One being the best possible hand and ten being the worst.

**A player is not obligated to use their Hole cards, they may play with all five community cards if that's their best possible hand. Situations like this would result in a loss, or a "Split Pot" if the hand goes to a showdown.  **
