The goal of each player is to win the pot, which contains all the bets that the players have made 馃弨 in any one deal. A player makes a bet in hopes that they have the best pot, which to give 馃弨 the impression that they do. In most Poker versions, the top combination of five cards is the best hand.
The Deal
Each 馃弨 player receives two cards face down and then one card face up, dealt one at a time in rotation.
The Play
After 馃弨 the initial deal, there is a betting interval. Each active player receives three more face up cards and one more 馃弨 face down card, with a betting interval after each round of cards dealt. In the showdown, each player turns up 馃弨 all of their hole cards and selects five of their seven cards as their hand. The player must separate these 馃弨 cards from the other two, which they discard. The player cannot reclaim their discards upon finding that a better five-card 馃弨 combination could have been made.
