Betting Rounds

There are 4 rounds of betting per hand:

• Pre-flop — after hole cards are dealt
• Flop — after 3 community cards
• Turn — after 4th community card
• River — after 5th community card

Actions

• Fold — give up your hand
• Check — pass (only if no bet to call)
• Call — match the current bet
• Raise — bet more than the current bet
• All In — bet all your chips

Blinds

Each hand starts with two forced bets — the small blind and big blind — posted by the two players left of the dealer. This ensures there's always something to play for.
