Once a player has received their hole cards, they can play their hand 🫰 by calling or raising the big blind. The first action begins to the left of the big blind. Once they 🫰 have decided to call, raise or fold, the action proceeds clockwise around the table. Betting continues on each betting round 🫰 until all players have placed equal bets into the pot.
After the first round of betting, the flop is dealt face-up 🫰 on the board. The flop includes the first three community cards.
