Game Overview
The main feature of Hold'em is that you must complete your hand using five community cards (common cards).
Players compete for higher hands using two cards dealt face down and five community cards (common cards) placed face up in the center of the table. The ultimate goal of a poker game is to win the game and get all the money bet in the pot.

Showdown
Pre-flop
First, two cards are dealt to the player. Check them without letting the other players see them.
The first betting round is done with these two cards dealt face down.


Flop
Once the pre-flop betting round is complete, the first three community cards (the flop) are dealt face up in the center of the table.
All participating players will use the community cards in common, combine them with the two cards in their own hand to form a hand, and then proceed to the second betting round.



turn
Once the betting round for the flop is complete, one more community card (the turn) is dealt face up, and the third betting round begins.




River
Once the turn betting round is complete, the fifth community card (the river) is dealt face up, and the fourth betting round begins.





Showdown
Once the fourth betting round is over, it's time for the showdown. In the showdown, players compete with the highest possible hand made out of seven cards, which is the two cards dealt face down to each player plus the five community cards laid out in the center of the table. Hands made out of five of the seven cards are the same as in regular poker, with the highest being a royal straight flush and the lowest being a high card (no hand).
