In this section, we’ll guide you step-by-step through the gameplay, giving you the confidence to play like a pro.\r\nGameplay<\/h3>\r\nThe game begins with each player receiving two face-down cards, known as the ‘hole’ or ‘pocket’ cards. The first round of betting starts with the player left of the big blind and continues clockwise. Players can call (match the big blind), raise (increase the bet), or fold (drop out of the game).\r\n\r\nAfter the first round of betting, three community cards called the ‘flop’ are dealt face-up in the middle of the table. Another round of betting follows, starting with the player left of the dealer button.\r\n\r\nThe fourth community card, called the ‘turn,’ is dealt face-up, followed by another betting round. Finally, the fifth community card, called the ‘river,’ is dealt, followed by the last round of betting.\r\n\r\nAt the end of the final betting round, the remaining players reveal their hole cards, and the player with the best five-card hand using any combination of the community and hole cards wins the pot. If two or more players have the same hand, the pot is split between them.\r\n
