Poker - GAME RULES
THE BUY-IN
You must buy-in a minimum amount of chips
when sitting down at your chosen table. The
minimum limit is equal to ten times the
lower bet limit of the game. For example on
a $3/$6 table the minimum buy-in is $30, on
a $10/$20 table the minimum buy-in is $100.
THE GAME
Texas Hold 'Em uses a disc called a dealer
button to indicate where the cards are to be
dealt. Prior to the deal, the two players to
the left of the button place live bets
called the small and big blinds. It is
called a blind because players must pay this
amount before seeing their cards. It's
called live because it counts as part of any
further bets in the first betting round.
The play begins with two cards dealt
facedown to each player. Action starts with
a betting round beginning with the player to
the left of the blind bets and continuing
clockwise around the table. Players may bet,
check, raise or fold in turn. The big blind
has the privilege of last action and may
check or raise the bet.
Three community cards called "The Flop" are
then dealt up in the center of the table and
another betting round takes place beginning
with the player to the left of the dealer
button. Another card is dealt face up
(called "The Turn") followed by a round of
betting.
The fifth and last card called "The River"
is dealt face up and a final round of
betting takes place. Players remaining in
the hand will then show their cards and the
winning poker hand will be awarded the pot.
Any combination of pocket cards and
community cards may be used to make the best
five-card poker hand.
SIT DOWN
Up to 10 players plus a dealer are seated
around a table.
DEALER BUTTON
In front of one of the players is a round
disc or button. This disc determines the
order of betting (posting the blinds) and
moves to the left one player at a time,
after each hand.
POST BLINDS
Before the cards are dealt at the beginning
of each hand, the two players directly to
the left of the dealer button must post
"blinds". To post a blind is to place a bet
before getting cards.
The player to the immediate left of the
dealer button posts the "small blind," equal
to half of the minimum bet (Example: $5 for
a $10 / $20 game). The player to the left of
the small blind posts the "big blind," equal
to the amount of the minimum bet (Example:
$10 for a $10 / $20 game).
POCKET CARDS
Once the blinds have been posted, the first
round of cards is dealt. These consist of
two cards face down to each player and are
called the "pocket cards". Each player can
see his or her own pocket cards.
Then the first round of betting takes place,
beginning with the player immediately to the
left of the big blind and continuing in a
clockwise direction around the table.
BETTING
Bet amounts are fixed by the table stakes.
For example, in a $3 / $6 table, bets are $3
in the first two rounds and $6 in the last
two. The bet amount can climb a maximum of 3
times in each round of betting. In other
words, there can be one bet and three raises
in each round.
THE FLOP CARDS
Next, three cards are dealt face up in the
middle of the table. These cards are called
the "Flop". All three cards are "community"
cards and can be used by all the players at
the table to make up their best possible
hand.
After the flop is dealt, a second round of
betting takes place, again beginning with
the player immediately to the left of the
dealer button. All subsequent rounds of
betting begin with the player to left of the
dealer button.
THE TURN CARD
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 CARD
Finally, a fifth and final "community" card
is dealt face up in the middle of the table.
It is called the "River" card and is
followed by a fourth and final round of
betting.
SHOWDOWN
Once all betting is complete, players
determine the best five-card hand that they
can make. 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 immediately to
the left of the dealer.
START AGAIN
After a hand is completed and the pot taken
by the winner, the dealer button is moved
one player to the left and the next hand
begins.
