The

round
of

At

this
round,

can
formulate
the
strongest
hand
(HANDS)
(using
his
two
cards
and
three
community
cards)
wins.
The
betting
action
moves
in
a
clockwise
fashion.
The
first
poker
player
who
can
bet
is
the
player
sitting
to
the
left
of
the
dealer.
Usually,
the
poker
players
take
turns
in
dealing
so
as
to
prevent
one
being
unjustly
favored
by
being
the
last.
If
you
are
the
first
player
you
have
three
choices:
bet,
fold
or
pass
(check).
Accordingly
the
next
player
has
the
same
three
choices.
If
one
of
the
player
places
a
bet,
the
next
one
cannot
simply
pass.
This
poker
player
must
either
raise
the
bet,
fold
his
cards
or
call.
To
call
means
to
place
a
wager
that’s
equal
to
that
of
the
previous
poker
player.
A
maximum
of
three
betting
rounds
is
permitted
every
time.
A
round
ends
when
all
the
poker
players
have
played.
Each
bet
cannot
be
below
the
minimum
amount
decided
upon
before
the
game
commenced.
Once
this
amount
is
set,
the
poker
players
have
no
say
anymore
on
the
amount
of
the
raises.
Usually,
the
maximum
is
twice
the
minimum.
At
this
poker
game,
you
can
bet
or
raise
only
as
per
the
minimum
amount.
This
is
so
only
for
the
first
two
rounds.
During
the
latter
two
the
bets
and
raises
must
equal
the
maximum.
Texas
Hold’em
Poker
has
turned
out
to
be
a
very
popular
game
and
has
been
depicted
in
famous
movies
as
well.
You
too
can
win
and
profit.
We
suggest
that
you
play
for
free
a
bit
until
you
get
the
hang
of
it.
