Game Flow (General):
(Blinds & betting order updated for common rules)
Blinds: Before cards are dealt, players post "blinds". Small Blind (SB) is immediately left of Dealer, Big Blind (BB) is left of SB.
Heads-up (2 players): Dealer is SB, other player is BB.
Pre-Flop: Each player gets two hole cards. Betting round begins.
Heads-up: Dealer (SB) acts first.
3+ players: Player left of BB (UTG) acts first.
Flop: Three community cards are dealt face up. Another betting round.
Heads-up: Non-Dealer (BB) acts first.
3+ players: First active player left of Dealer (SB position) acts first.
Turn: A fourth community card is dealt. Another betting round (same starting player as Flop).
River: A fifth and final community card is dealt. Final betting round (same starting player as Flop).
Showdown: If two or more players remain, they reveal their hands. The best hand wins the pot. Side pots are created if players are all-in for different amounts.
Actions:
Check: Pass the action without betting (only if no bet before you in current round).
Bet: Make the first wager in a betting round.
Call: Match the current bet.
Raise: Increase the current bet. The slider shows the TOTAL amount you'd be raising TO.
Fold: Discard your hand and forfeit the pot.
Controls:
Use the buttons at the bottom of the table to perform actions when it's your turn. For "Bet" or "Raise", use the slider to select the TOTAL amount for your current action, then click the corresponding button.
When it is your turn, the most logical action button will be automatically focused. You can use Tab/Shift+Tab to navigate between buttons and Enter/Space to activate the focused button.
