General Texas Hold ‘Em Rules, the Flop
Texas Hold ‘Em is one of the simplest varieties of online poker played at many online casinos. The rules are as follows: the player who has the button “dealer” is the dealer. This button moves clockwise from player to player, so every player is the dealer several times during the game. 2 players right to the dealer always start the game. Before the initial round, the first player right to the dealer posts half of the minimum bet (the blind) and the second one – the full minimum bet to form the initial pot to play for.
Each player is dealt 2 cards, face down. These 2 initial cards are often called “hole cards”. Then the players have a look at their cards and decide whether to call, to raise, or to flop. After that the first 3 cards are disclosed. This round is called the flop. The dealer discards the 1st card at the top of the deck (this is called “to burn the card” and is done to prevent cheating in case any of the players has seen the card) and puts 3 succeeding one face up. The players make their bets. The player with the best combination wins.
