RULES
The RULES section explains the rules of Texas hold'em poker.
* There are two face-down cards for each
player plus five face-up community cards.
* The player who forms the best five-card hand with the two face-down cards and the five face-up cards wins the round.
* One of the players is the dealer. The dealer is indicated by a disc.
* No antes but forced bets called blinds.
* At first, only the two face-down cards are dealt to each player.
* In the beginning the player sitting left to the dealer posts a small blind which is half of the minimum bet and the next player posts big blind which equals to the minimum bet.
* The next player can either call, raise or fold.
* Call = place a bet equal to the last bet
* Raise = raise the call bet by a certain amount
* Fold = sit out the round
* When the first round has finished, the three first community cards are dealt.
* From now on players can check which means that they can keep playing without placing a bet. If a player places a bet the others must call it. Players can also raise or fold.
* After the next betting round the fourth card is dealt and then after the third betting round the final face-up community card is dealt.
* The final betting round follows and the cards are revealed.
