When poker is played in real life players take it in turns to be the dealer, who deals the cards to the player to his left first and to his or herself last.
After each hand the deal moves round and the next player, moving in a clockwise direction, becomes the dealer.
In a professional card room a dealer is provided so players do not have to deal themselves. In online poker there is a virtual dealer!

Betting
Once the big blinds have been posted the first player to act is the player to the immediate left of the big blind. At this stage there are three options available - to FOLD, to CALL or to RAISE;
Each player in turn (in a clockwise direction) must make a decision and to stay in the game must continue to bet until all remaining players have staked an equal amount. When the action comes round to the big blind and if none of the remaining players have made a raise (therefore all betting is even), the player on the big blind has the option to either raise or CHECK.
To check is to pass without placing a bet and yet remain in the game. In all instances other than on the big blind in the first round, the option to check can only be used when no prior bets in a round have been made.
In the second, third and fourth rounds of betting, the first player to act is the first player to the left of the dealer who is still participating in the hand.
Our games can be played in three different ways - as limit, pot limit or no limit poker. The rules of these games are the same except for betting as these limits refer to the amount that a player is permitted to bet at any stage of the game.

- To fold is to throw your cards and take no further part in the hand.
- To call is to match the previous bet in order to remain in the game.
- To raise is to make a bet in excess of the previous bet by at least the table minimum.

Blinds
Blinds are compulsory bets that are designed to get the betting started. There are two blinds -
- small blind
- big blind.
The small blind is posted by the player to the immediate left of the dealer
The big blind is posted by next player to his/her left. The big blind is twice the size of the small blind.
When there are only two players left in the game (and in head-to-head games) the blinds are handled slightly differently. The small blind is posted by the dealer, rather than the player to the left of the dealer. The other player posts the big blind. On our tables that support more than two players, our system will switch to head-to-head rules whenever there are only two players dealt in.
