Re: Poker Game Rules
Limit Holdem as played at the Players Club.
OBJECT OF THE GAME:
The highest-ranking hand wins the pot.
THE PLAY:
Hold-em is played with a flat disc called the dealer button. The dealer button rotates clockwise after each hand. The Player with the button receives his cards last. The two players left of the dealer button posts blinds before any cards are dealt. The blinds are live and count as part of the players bet.
All players are dealt two down cards (hole cards) as their initial starting hand. There is a round of betting. The action starts with the player in front of the big blind.
All players have the right to throw their hand away, call the big blind, or raise the pot. The action goes clockwise. Three board cards (called the flop) are now turned face up at once in the center of the table, and another round of betting occurs.
The action now starts with the first active player in front of the button. The next two board cards are turned face tip (the turn and the river) one at a time, with a round of betting after each card. The five board cards are community cards and are shared by all active players.
A player may choose any combination from the 7 cards to make a 5 card hand.
EXAMPLE: The players may play 5 cards on the board or use one card from your hand and 4 from the board or use both cards in their hand and 3 cards from the board. (you must declare you are playing the board before throwing in your hand)
