A flat disk call the “button” shall be used to indicate an imaginary dealer.
The player to the immediate left of the button is required to place a Small Blind bet. The player to the left of the Small blind bet is required to place a Big Blind bet.
Starting with the player to the immediate left of the button and continuing in a clockwise rotation around the poker table, the dealer shall deal three rounds of cards face down to each player, the player with the button being the last player to receive a card each time.
Each player in turn, in a clockwise rotation starting with the player to the left of the big Blind bet, has the option to Call, Raise of Fold. If no player has raised the bet, then the option to raise is given to both Blind bets. After the last player has responded to the most recent bet, the betting round shall be considered complete.
After the initial round of betting, players must discard one of their hole cards when it is their turn to act.
The next betting round will begin with the option to bet or check belonging to the first player to the left of the button who has not folded. Each player may, in clockwise rotation, fold, call, raise the bet or, if preceding players have not made a bet, make an opening bet of check. The betting round shall be considered complete when each player has either folded or called in response to the most recent bets.
The next betting round will begin with option to bet or check belonging to the first player to the left of the player who has not folded.
Each player remaining in the game will turn his cards over and the dealer will read the cards to determine the highest ranking five-card high poker hand using, in any combination of their own two cards and the five community cards.
