Each round of poker ends once all of the playing cards have been completely laid out from each poker hand and all the rounds of bets have been met, the winner at the end of the poker round is the poker player which has the best hand or possibly the last player not to have chucked their playing cards in. The winner takes all of the chips gambled during that round.

To start the game play each and every player in the game of poker is handed 2 cards and a dealer chip is positioned by the player that's the dealer (this dealer chip moves 1 position each hand in a clockwise direction), bets always starts to the left of the dealer chip in each hand. A round of betting will be performed, players can decide to fold (chuck their cards in and sit out of the rest of the hand), boost the bet (other players must match your bet to stay in the hand), or check (not raise, which is only doable if no players have raised greater than you).

As soon as the initial round of betting has been carried out the flop is dealt, the flop are three additional cards that will be positioned face up on the table that all players can make use of to add to their hand. Players then go through a 2nd round of betting. The turn (a 4th face up card) will then be added to the table followed by further wagering. The 5th and last card is then placed face up on the table (this is whats called the river) one more round of gambling is then played out.

Every players hand is made up from 5 cards obtained from a combination of one or more card using their initial cards as well as the 5 cards face up on the table, the player with the most impressive poker hand rankings is established as the winner in the poker hand and takes each of the poker chips gambled in the round.
