Poker. Game rules and combinations
The process is carried out clockwise. Landmark - dealer, he is giving out cards. According to the rules of the game, it changes clockwise on each deal of cards. The two closest opponents who sit to the left of the dealer are called the first blind and the second blind. They place bets automatically. If the established con of the game is 1/2 dollar, then the first bets $ 1, the second - $ 2.
Up to 10 players can play Texas poker at the same time. Up to 6 participants - “short” table, up to 10 - “long”. Choosing where to sit down is optional. Accordingly, at long tables, the game can last a long time. Many prefer to sit back, waiting for a good combination of cards to come to them. In poker at a short table, events are more dynamic because the game is being played aggressively.
Texas poker is divided into 4 stages:
Preflop Everyone is dealt 2 cards. The player who sits after the second blind starts the circle, ends the second blind. Everyone is allowed to fold their cards (fold). You can make a bet commensurate with the current (call) and raise it (raise).
Flop 3 cards are dealt to the center of the table. They are common to all. These 3 and their 2 (2 + 3 = 5) make up the combination. Based on it, a move is made: you can skip (if no one made a bet), level, raise or reset.
Thorne. Fourth community card. A new betting circle is being made.
River 5 (last) card on the table. The final round of betting, which decides everything in this distribution (party).
Next comes the showdown. If at the table there are 2 or more players who have not dropped, then they must open them, showing them to everyone. The one who has the highest combination of cards in poker has won. If they are the same, the bank is divided.
Next begins a new batch. The dealer becomes the next in a circle. The game at the table continues while people remain. At any time, a new person can join the process, sitting on an empty seat. However, he will be required to immediately place a bet that is equal to the amount of the second blind. Each player can also stop the game at any time by discarding cards and leaving the table.
The process is quite simple. It’s easy to remember that the best poker hand wins the best hand. But the beginner will have to spend time to learn all of them.
