Things You'll Need:
- Deck of cards
- Poker chips
-
Step 1
Decide what the betting limits of your game will be. For beginners it might be wise to start with $.25-$.50 limits. For more advanced players (or players with bigger expendable incomes), you can set the limits at $2-$4 or $3-$6. For the sake of these instructions, we'll assume you're playing $3-$6, a common limit found at casinos.
-
Step 2
Have players post their blinds. The blinds should be $1 for the small blind and $3 for the big blind.
-
Step 3
Deal two cards to each player.
-
Step 4
Starting with the player to the left of the big blind, place your bet. All bets in this round must be in increments of $3, no more and no less. There's a cap of four bets, meaning the max bet per player should be $12.
-
Step 5
Lay down the flop. The player to the left of the dealer begins betting. Once again bets in this round should be in increments of $3.
-
Step 6
Lay down the turn card. Bets in this round now double to $6 increments. The cap remains, so the most any one player should bet in this round is $24.
-
Step 7
Lay down the river card. Once again bets in this round are in increments of $6.
-
Step 8
Once all betting is over, turn over your cards. The player with the best hand wins the pot, and the button and the blinds move to the left.
