[ English | Deutsch | Español | Français | Italiano ]

This round is typically known as a "pre-flop".

After the 1st betting round, the first card is thrown away. This tossed aside card is known as the "burn card", and this is performed to ensure there is definitely no cheating. The next three cards are then revealed face up on the table. These cards are referred to as ‘the flop’. Now comes a 2nd round of wagering, after that the dealer burns a further card and flips one more card onto the table. Following this, participants can use the 6th card to form a five-card poker hand.

A further round of betting happens, and in a good many types of poker, here is where the wager amount increases. There is an additional round of tossing aside a card, and a closing deal of a card face-up on the table. This is referred to as the "river". Bettors can now make use of any of the 5 cards on the table, and/or the two cards in their hand, to form a five-card poker hand.

To wrap it up there is an additional sequence of wagering. Then, all the players left begin to show their hands. This is describe as the "showdown". Obviously, the bettor who has the highest hand wins. When competitors have tied hands a sharing of the winnings is used.
