The “Flop” is followed by a round of betting started by the active player who is sitting closest to the left of the button. Action starts with the person to the left of the player who posted the “Big Blind.” This betting round is followed by three cards (also called the “Flop”) being dealt face-up in the middle of the table. Players are dealt two down cards followed by another round of betting. If action becomes “heads up” (only two active players remaining) before a third raise is made, there is no limit to the number of raises that the remaining players can make. Players are allowed to check and raise, with a maximum of three raises per betting round. The player to the left of the “Small Blind” must post the “Big Blind” which is equal to the minimum bet for the first betting round. The player closest to the left of the button must post the “Small Blind” – approximately half of the minimum bet for the first betting round.

A “blind” bet constitutes all or part of the player’s wager and must be “posted” before the player receives any cards, unless a specific game or situation deems otherwise. To begin, one or more “blind” bets are placed to create action in the first betting round. Texas Hold’em uses a dealer button to indicate which player will receive cards first and where the action will start for every betting round.
