Objective

To make the best 5 card hand from exactly two cards from the four in your hand and three cards from the board. You MUST use two in your hand and three from the community cards.

Blinds

The Flop

Three community cards are dealt face up, called the “flop,” followed by another round of betting.

The Turn

A fourth community card is revealed, “turn,” triggering another round of betting.

The River

The fifth and final community card is revealed, the “river,” setting the stage for the final betting.
