To determine who begins the game a single card is dealt to each player; high card will be the first dealer. The dealer position is indicated by a white plastic chip called the button, which is also what the dealer position is called, sometimes referred to as being on the button. The dealer button rotates to the left, ensuring that everyone gets to play in this and all other positions.

Forced bets must be paid before the cards are dealt (the big blind and the little blind). A bet is when money is put into the pot for the first time in a round. The amounts of the bets and blinds are predetermined, and the little blind is always half the big blind. The little blind position is always the seat to the left of the dealer, and the big blind is the seat to the left of the little blind.

The dealer will deal two cards called pocket cards to each player face down. Another round of betting takes place. If a player raises the bet, each player must now call the new amount, including those who may have already acted. At any time a player may re-raise, meaning that they raise it again beyond the amount it was raised previously.

After the betting the dealer will deal three cards called the flop face up in the table. These are the first of five community cards that all players can use, along with their pocket cards, to make the best possible poker hand. Another round of betting takes place then the turn and the river cards will be dealt face up. The remaining player will compare their hands to determine the winner in the showdown.
