Next players can do the same actions. After rise players can make the bet higher (re-raise). The quantity of re-raise depends on table rules (FL, PL). All players must put the same quantity of chips. Those chips are put into the pot and move to the center of the table. Chips are considered to be added to the pot immediately after the bet.

If there wasn’t rise, a player, who made big blind, can make check instead of call, in other words he can skip his own turn without raising the bet and folding cards.

The Second Betting Round: Fourth Street

Dealer without opening put the top card to the center of the table (to other cards). He makes that for showing that the top card is not marked. Then dealer gives out one more opened card to players. The players who haven’t fold cards have three cards.

Then the second betting round begins. The first player with the best cards combination is the first to act (also the remaining betting rounds). The player who starts the second betting round can make:

• fold
• check (pass his motion)
• bet

Betting Round is continuing till all players put the same quantity of chips and say “check”.

The Third Betting Round: Fifth Street

Dealer put the top card to the center of the table (to another cards). Then dealer gives out one more opened card. The players who haven’t folded cards have four cards.

The Forth Betting Round: Sixth Street

Dealer put the top card to the center of the table (to other cards). Then dealer gives out one more opened card. The players who haven’t fold cards have five cards.

The Fifth Betting Round

Dealer puts the top card to the center of the table (to other cards). Then dealer gives out a last one blind card. The players who haven’t folded cards have seven cards.

After finishing betting rounds players open their cards by turns. The first player who shows his cards is the one who did raise or bet last time. If there weren’t a raise or bet, The first player who shows his cards is that who said “check” last time. The player with the weakest combination may not show his cards. He has the right to fold his cards without opening them (muck). Muck is a special place on the table for fold cards.

The player with the best combination wins and takes the pot. If players have the same hands they can divide the pot. If the pot can’t be divided into two parts, then those players who opened cards the first takes the rest (for example, 0,01 US dollars).

The distribution is finished. Dealer moves button chips clockwise to the next player. The pack is mixed and the dealer begins to give out again.

Notes:

Usually the seventh card is put in the center of the table and it is called “common”, but if it’s more than seven players and all of them take part in the game. It’s going this way because there aren’t enough cards in the pack. Also cards, which were folded before every betting round can be used by players.

During the game one specific situation may arise: the player doesn’t have enough chips to play back after the previous bat. In such case the player doesn’t have to fold cards, he may do all-in. So the next prize is allocated in such a way:

• with two players: Dealer takes the chips from the bet of the first player, this bet must be equal the stack (general quantity of player’s chips) of the second player, who goes all-in and puts into pot with the chips of the second player. Extra chips from the bet of the first player come back to him. The above is true for cases when some players go after “all-in” and their stakes are absolutely equal.
• with three or more players with unequal stacks: Dealer takes the chips from every player who made all-in and those chips must be equal with chips of the player with the smallest stack among these players and put all these chips to the main pot. Then dealer takes the smallest balance from these bets and takes equivalent sum from another player’s bets and all those chips he add to the side pot. There may be some side pots. Extra chips from the bet of the first player who has the highest stack are come back to him.

So the next prize is allocated in such a way:

If the player with the smallest stack has the best hand, he takes only the main pot, and all side pots are played without his participation.

If the player with the second smallest stack has the best hand, he takes only the main pot and the first side pot (¹2), and all the rest pots are played without his participation.

Accordingly if the player with the highest stacks has the best hand, this player takes all chips from all pots.

If all players who are taking part in cards distribution go all-in (betting rounds can’t be anymore), except one, then cards will open immediately, but not after river betting rounds.

If nobody supports the bet (even if it’s big blind), the player who made the bet last time gets the pot. He may not open his cards.
