Dealer Button
The Dealer Button is a round disc that is passed from player to player (clockwise) just before each set of new cards is dealt. This disc determines the order of betting and blind posting.
Post Blinds
Before any cards are dealt, the two players directly to the left of the dealer button must post "blinds". To post a blind is to place a bet before seeing your cards.
The player to the immediate left of the dealer button must post the "small blind," which is half the minimum bet (e.g. $5 for a $10/$20 table). The player to the left of the small blind posts the "big blind," which is the amount of the minimum bet (e.g. $10 for a $10/$20 table).
Pocket Cards
Once the blinds have been posted, two cards are dealt face down to each player, called the "pocket cards". At this stage, each player can see his/her pocket cards only.
The first round of betting then takes place, beginning with the player immediately to the left of the big blind and continuing clockwise around the table.
Betting
Bet amounts are fixed by the table stakes. E.g. on a $3/$6 table, bets are $3 in the first two rounds and $6 in the last two. There can be one bet and three raises in each round, i.e. the bet amount can climb a maximum of 3 times in each round of betting.
The Flop
Next, three cards are dealt face up in the middle of the table. This is known as “The Flop”. These cards are "community" cards, i.e. they can be used by all the players at the table to make up their poker hand.
After the flop is dealt a second round of betting takes place, beginning again with the player immediately to the left of the dealer button (as with all subsequent rounds of betting).
The Turn
Following the flop, a fourth "community" card is dealt face up in the middle of the table. This card is called the "Turn" card and can also be used by all players. It is followed by a third round of betting.
The River
The fifth and final "community" card is dealt face up in the middle of the table known as “The River”, followed by a final round of betting.
Showdown
Once all betting is complete, players lay down their cards in what’s known as ‘The Showdown’, displaying their hand to the rest of the table. The player with the best five-card poker hand wins the pot. Should multiple hands tie, the pot is split with any odd amount going to the player to the left of the dealer..
