Betting dark / Blinds /
In Texas Holdem there are only 2 mandatory bets before the start of each hand, called the dark bets (Blinds). The game started with both players left the dealer (Dealer) or fictitious Dealer (The Button), which pledged a certain amount of dark before the cards were distributed and thus ensure that what has to be played in each round. In tournaments this amount was increased gradually to a drop of players.
Most often, the player at the left of Dealers (Small Blind) - small blaynd enters into deal with half the minimum bet, a player left to him (Big Blind) blaynd large, with the total value of the minimum bet. This is called placing bets in the dark (posting the blinds).

Distribution
Each player is handed two cards face down (the Hole Cards). It keeps the value of secret usually covers them with hand ednava feat while with the other end. These cards must remain on the table, but may be raised by the player to see them better. Then must be placed on the table, and may be speaking at any time during the hand, but only players who are distributed.

The aim of the game is to combine these two cards with five cards that will eventually be put before Dealers ( "the Board") to form the best poker hand (see Hand Order) among all players. This hand can be formed by the two starting cards and three cards on the table, starting on one card and 4 of the cards on the table or - very rarely - only five cards on the table. Pritezhaltelyat this hand wins gained during hand Pot (all bets collected together).

First Round of Bid
The first round of betting starts as soon deal. The game starts from the player left of the player of the Grand blaynd. In table games, he may choose to become the third Blaynd making bets worth 2 times the stake of the Grand blaynd before being distributed cards. This is known as Strada (Straddle). The advantage of suffering (Straddle) player is that in the first round of betting, it is the last, which allows it to take all actions of the players before him.

The first player (left immediately to the Grand blaynd - or Straddler) has three options: to pay (Call), rose to stake (Raise) or to refuse (Fold).

To Pay, a player must bet worth of Big blaynd or Straddle bet.

To increased stake (Raise), a player must bet more than the previous. The size of this bet varies depending on the type of game: The Limit Games (Limit Games) is a fixed value and may be limited (Capped) after a certain number of rounds, usually four online; Members In Limit games (Pot Limit games) not may be greater than the accumulated amount of mass (Pot); But in Limit games (No Limit games), the amount may be limited by the number of chipovete owned by the player.

To refuse (To Fold), the player puts his cards face down before him and move to the middle of the table where they are considered out of the game (Muck). The player can not participate further in razdavaneto and lost all of his bets.

Subsequent players have the same three options, plus the possibility of the rise stake in turn (ReRaise) the amount must be at least as the sum of the previous bet (Raise).

Floppy (The Flop)
After the first round of betting, the dealer removes the top card from the dough. Called burned card (Burning) and made the protection provided that someone accidentally saw this card and to avoid fraud. Removed card is placed out of the total card, which will be distributed in the center and turn on the playing table.


Then the dealer puts three cards turned face up on the table. These three cards are called floppy (the Flop).

Second round of betting
This and all subsequent rounds of betting starting with the first player at the left of the dealer left in the deal. In addition to pay and rise stake now players have the opportunity to pass (Check) - and thus remain in the hand without betting until their turn came again.

Once pledge made each player can choose to pay (Call), to increased (Raise) or re-up (Re-Raise) in appropriate cases. If you do not choose any of these actions, it should be refused (Fold). So at the end of the round all players will have equal stakes unless a player does not have enough chips, in which case he should bet all his remaining chips (All-In) and thus be formed by one or more amounts ( Side Pots), which restrict the amount that they can win up to a value set by its amount increased with the same amount taken from each player participating in the accumulation of basic amount (Main Pot).

Tarn (The Turn) (also known as Fourth Street)
After completion of the second round of betting again removed the top card of the dough and the next turns and sets to the first three to face up to the table. This is the Tarn (Turn) card.

Third Round of Bid
In Limit (Limit) games fixed value doubled and did not change until the last round of betting.

River (The River) (also known as Fifth Street)
After completion of the third round of Gambling again removed the top card of the dough and the next fifth and final common card, and pay raises to the first four again face up to the table. This is River (River) card.

Fourth Round of Bid
This round before showing maps (Show-Down), caused when the player must reveal his cards.

If two or more players have the same effect on hand, the next highest card in the hand of each player (the Kicker) determines the winner. If no such card (players use both Starter Maps (Hole Cards) or have the same hand) the accumulated amount is distributed among them.

Dealer Errors
If it is facing the first distribution was made starting card deemed invalid. Dealers should collect card to mixed and cut the cards again.

If any other card Startovite be found attributable to the dealer, razdavaneto continues. Open card can not be retained. After completion of the hand dealer replaced the card with the top card of the test and so obarnatata card is used to map Removal (Burn Card). If more than one scratch card is facing razdavaneto should be repeated.
If the floppy is too many cards, it should be distributed again (this applies even if it is known which would be additional card.)

If the floppy should be prerazdaden because reversing floppy cards before completion of preflop bets or floppy contains too many cards, cards on the table be mixed with others in the test. Removed card remains on the table. After mixing, the dealer cut the dough and distributed new floppy without removing card.
If the dealer paid the fourth card on the table before the end of that round of betting, the card is removed from the game for this round of distribution even if the next player intends to deny (fold). Then betting ends. Dealers removed and given a card should be the heel of the fourth place. After this round of betting the dealer again stir the dough, including card, which is removed from the game, but not removed or invalid card. Dealers then cut the dough and draws the last card removed without another card. If the fifth card is turned on inadvertently, the dough is mixed and distributed in the same method.

If the dealer give more players on the first card (after all players have received their starting cards), the card is returned to the test and is used to map Remove. If the dealer mistakenly distributed more than one additional card, cancel the distribution was made.
