Dealing
Learning how to
deal the cards is the first step in playing.
|
|
Deal the 2 personal cards Before you begin, make sure you shuffle the deck very good before
dealing. When dealing, keep both cards face down. If a card flips over in the
process of dealing, take back all the cards and deal again. These two cards
are your personal cards which you will have a choice in using both, one, or
neither. |
|
Deal the “Flop” Once everyone has their own personal cards, you need to “burn”
(discard) one card by putting it face down on the side. No one will see this
card. Next, you deal out three community cards, also known as the “flop”,
face up for everyone to see. Community cards are to be used in combination
with personal cards. |

|
Deal the “Turn” Before you deal the fourth community card, known as the “turn”,
you need to burn another card. Once the burn card has been discarded, deal out
one card, face up for everyone to see. This is the second to the last
community card that will be dealt. |
|
Deal the River The “river” is the last community card to be dealt. Again, you first
need discard of the last burn card. Now, you may deal the river, face up next
to the rest of the community cards. The best hand using any combination of
personal and community cards wins. Good Luck! |
