the most common form of poker is texas hold'em
we start with dealing out two cards to everyplayer. one player is the bigblind who pays a fee before seeing their cards. another player plyer is the small blind, who pays half. play starts from the small blind who has to match or raise the prior bet (the bigblind in this case). each player does this or folds. folding is where they forfet their cards and chance at winning the hand. after it goes back around to the person who raised it last (who, at the start, is the bb) and that person gets to raise or continues to the next round. when the first round of betting is done we get our first 3 comnuity cards. these cards are used by everyone to make their poker hands. repeat the betting only turning 1 card this time. do it again, flipping over 1 card. then one last round of betting before we declare a winner. if,at any time,there is only oneplayer who has not folded they win the entire pot.
