Step 1
Shuffle the deck and deal three cards face down to each player. Begin by giving one card to the person on your left and continue clockwise around the table until everyone has three cards.
-
Step 2
Wait for the players to go through the first betting phase. Then, set one card face down out of play. This is known as burning a card. Burning is a standard practice in any poker game in which there is a set of community cards.
-
Step 3
Deal the flop by laying three cards face up in a horizontal row in the middle of the table. Make sure you place them where all players can see them.
-
Step 4
Burn another card once the players have completed the next betting round. Then, lay one more card face up on the table. This is known as the turn and you should place it to the right of last flop card.
-
Step 5
Let the players conduct another round of betting and then lay down a final community card to the right of the turn card. This final card is called the river.
-
Step 6
Collect one discard from each player's pocket hand so that they only have two cards left. Then, wait as they conduct one more round of betting. Determine the winners of the pot once they reveal their cards by figuring out the best and worst hands. The two winners split the money in the pot.
