Once the game starts a dealer is assigned. At the end of each hand the dealer changes to the next player to the current dealers left. Knowing who is the dealer is important, as it indicates who posts the compulsory bets (known as blinds) before each hand Frank Clark Camo Jersey , it also indicates who is first to act in each betting round.
In Texas Hold'em there are two compulsory bets that are made before the start of each hand. These are known as the small blind and the big blind. These are important as it means that there are chips to be won in every hand. The player to the immediate left of the dealer pays the small blind and the player to the left of the small blind posts the big blind.
In limit games the small blind is equal to half the size of the small bet, and the big blind is equal to the small bet. So at a $1$2 table the small blind is 0.50c and the big blind is $1.
In limit games the size of the bet that a player can make in the first and second betting rounds is equal to the amount of the small bet of the table (for example in a $3$6 limit game, the bet players can make in rounds 1 and 2 is $3). In the third and forth betting rounds, players can bet the value of the big bet (for example in a $3$6 limit game Tyreek Hill Camo Jersey , players can bet $6 in the third and forth rounds).
There is a maximum of one bet and three raises allowed in each betting round. (For example, in the first betting round of a $1$2 limit table, a player will pay a maximum of $4 - a bet of $1 and three raises of $1). The exception to this rule is if there are only two players left in the pot, in which case there is no limit to the number of raises that can be made.
Hole cards and the first betting round
Once the blinds have been posted Darwin Thompson Rush Jersey , two cards are dealt face down to each player at the table (known as "hole cards"). At this point the first betting round begins, players must make a decision on how to act based on the strength of their hole cards only.

The play continues clockwise around the table until all players who started in the hand have called Khalen Saunders Rush Jersey , checked or folded, and the amount put in the pot by each player still in the hand is equal.
The Flop and the second betting round
After the first betting round has finished, the dealer places 3 cards face up in the middle of the table - this is known as the flop. These 3 cards are shared by all the players towards make their final hands. Players now have 5 cards out of the 7 available and have a good idea how their hand is developing. At this point the second betting round begins.
In this and all subsequent betting rounds, the action starts with the first player still in the hand to the left of the dealer. This player can either check or bet (he can not raise as no bet has been made in the round Juan Thornhill Rush Jersey , and he shouldn't fold because it costs him nothing at that point to stay in the hand). As in the previous betting round, the play continues clockwise around the table until all players have called, checked or folded and the amount placed in the pot by each player still in the hand is equal.
The Turn and the third betting round
After the second betting round, the dealer places a fourth card face up on the table - this is called the turn card. Like the flop Mecole Hardman Rush Jersey , this is a community card that may be used by all the players to make up part of their hand.
The players should now know the majority of their hand, as there is only one more card to come. The betting round here is the same as the third betting round, with the player to the left of the dealer acting first.
In limit games the size of the bet that a player can make in the third betting round and final betting round is equal the size of the big bet (for example in a $3$6 limit game, the bet players can make in this round is $6).
The River and the final betting round
After the third betting round Tyrann Mathieu Rush Jersey , the dealer places a final card face up on the table - this is called the river card. There is a final betting round, which is the same as the third betting round.
After this, each player makes the best possible 5 card poker hand out of the 7 available cards. Each player can use any combination of the 2 cards in their hands and the five cards on the table. The player with the highest ranked hand wins the pot. If two or more players have the same value hand, then the pot is split between them.
