That is it conditionally designates, what player is the dealer. The chesspiece moves clockwise on a circle after each game. It is very important, as "dealer" does the rate by the last, and it is greater advantage for him.
In game the Texas Holdem there are two obligatory rates named by rates blindly ( Âlinds) . The purpose of Âlinds an obligatory investment of money in bank that stimulates players on conducting game.
Game begins that two players sitting to the left of the dealer (Button), put in advance certain rate blindly, even before delivery of cards maps. The small rate in blind (Small Blind) is put by the first player sitting to the left of the dealer. And the second player sitting to the left of the dealer puts the big rate in blind (Âig Âlind). Small Blind, as a rule, makes half Âig Âlind which, in turn, is usually equal on size to the minimal rate game.
Further the dealer hands over to all players, since Small Blind, on one, and then and on the second card face down, and the first round of trade begins, i.e. players do rates depending on chances estimated by them of a prize.
Preflop
By the first that player who sits to the left of Âig Âlind does the rate. He has three variants: to accept the rate (Call), to lift the rate (Raise) or to dump cards (Fold).
Call is means to stake, which will be equal to the Âig Âlind.
Raise is means, that the player puts a greater sum of money, rather than the rate of the previous player. That is compares the rate with previous and adds from above. The size of the sum on which the player lifts the rate, varies depending on a kind of game.
Fold - the player leaves in a pass. After that the player does not accept participation in game before following delivery of cards, and all staked rates are lost by him.
Further the following player as solves what to do: to pass, to balance or lift the rate. So proceeds on a circle until all rates will not be equaled. The player, whose rate is already equal put previous (for example, in the first circle of trade at absence increasing the rate, the player "sitting" on Âig Âlind) can tell "Check", having confirmed the desire to play, but unwillingness to increase the rate.
Flop
After all rates are made -
«Raise», remained have told
"Check", other players have dumped cards (all it can occupy some circles), on the middle of a table three cards in opened surrender. This three cards named «Flop», are the common and belong to all remained in game. Now the player can make a combination of cards, using the pocket cards (The Hole Cards) and the common cards (community). For example: at him on hands King and the Jack. At flop on a table have handed over the common the seven, the nine and a jack. Now you have a combination in pair Jacks.
Turn
The second circle and all the subsequent circles of rates begin with the first player sitting to the left of the dealer who has not dumped a card.
After the second circle of rates the fourth card named Turn surrenders on a table. Then the tenders, by the same rules, as on Flop proceed.
River
After the third circle of rates last fifth card named River surrenders on a table. Take place last tenders.
Showdown
And when all rates are made, the players who have been last 4 previous stages, open the cards (The Showdown) and the winner on the best combinations is determined.
The first should open cards or the player who has started game, or the player who the last has staked, has lifted or has repeatedly lifted the rate. It is meant, that by the one who has made last action on River, that and should open the cards the first.
The player with an advantageous hand should not open the cards if nobody has balanced his/her rate.
If the player accepts the rate and sees, that cannot win, he can throw in cards. The players, were interested the thrown off "hand", can request history of a "hand" and find out its contents.
