Hand Rankings
Familiarize yourself with poker hand rankings. The typical hierarchy is: High Card, One Pair, Two Pair, Three of a Kind, Straight, Flush, Full House, Four of a Kind, Straight Flush, and Royal Flush.
Blinds and Antes
In many poker games, there are forced bets called blinds (small blind and big blind) to stimulate betting. Antes, small forced bets paid by all players, are common in tournaments.
Dealing Cards
Players receive cards either face-up or face-down, depending on the game. The dealer distributes cards in a clockwise direction.
Betting Rounds
Betting occurs in rounds, with players having the options to check, bet, raise, or fold. The specific rules depend on the variant being played.
Community Cards
In games like Texas Hold’em and Omaha, community cards are dealt face-up in the center of the table. Players use these in combination with their hole cards to make the best hand.
Showdown
If there are two or more players remaining after the final betting round, a showdown occurs. The player with the best hand wins the pot.
Winning the Pot
The player with the best hand (or the last remaining player after others fold) wins the pot, which consists of all the bets made during the hand.
Players receive their hole cards, and the first betting round begins with the player to the left of the big blind.
In community card games like Texas Hold’em, three community cards (flop), one more (turn), and a final one (river) are dealt in separate betting rounds.
After each set of community cards is dealt, there is a betting round. Players decide whether to bet, check, raise, or fold based on their hand strength and the community cards.
Showdown
If multiple players remain after the final betting round, there’s a showdown to determine the winner.
Winning the Pot
The player with the best hand, following hand rankings, wins the pot.
