A Beginners Guide to Texas Hold’em Poker

Once this round of betting is concluded, the dealer discards the top playing card from the rest of the deck (called ‘burning the card’) and deals three cards face up on the table. These cards are called the flop, and are community cards that can be utilized by all the players to help them form the best possible five-card poker hand. A second round of betting then commences, again with players seeing, raising or folding.

The dealer then burns another card and deals one more card face up alongside the other community cards. This card is called ‘Fourth Street’ or the ‘turn’. Once again, there is an additional round of betting. The dealer then burns one final card, and deals the last face-up community card, known as ‘Fifth Street’ or the ‘river’.
