  2. Call – to call.
  3. Raise. Raise.
  4. Fold. Fold the cards.
  5. Check. Skip, i.e. if the betting amount has not been increased, it can be done.

When all players have bet, the deal starts and 3 open cards are placed on the table. This is the flop, after which you can look at the combinations.

If more than one person is in play after that, the bidding starts again and 1 more card is placed on the table. This is the turn. This is followed by bidding again and the river, i.e. 5 carats on the table. This is followed by another round of bidding and after more than one player claims the pot, they are opened.

The rules of poker say that the hand is made up of 5 common cards and 2 closed cards in the poker player’s hand. And after the last bet is tied, all players who have continued playing begin to show up one by one. The strongest combination of 5 cards wins.
