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