Things to keep in mind in Poker 

Before you start learning the rules of the game, you need to note the following:

• In Poker, all players’ bets are pooled into a common fund called the Pot. You will win if your hand is higher than your opponent or all opponents have folded. The winning bet is the total amount that the player has placed in the Pot
• Before starting the game, you must place a bet in advance, called Blinds. Therefore, there will be two terms: Small Blind (Small Blind) and Big Blind (Big Blind). The person sitting to the left of the Dealer (marked with the letter D, randomly selected in the game) will be placed Small Blind. The player to the left of the Small Blind must place a Big Blind
• Poker uses a deck of 52 Western cards to determine the winner. The size of the cards is distinguished by the order of the cards with 2 being the smallest card and Ace being the largest card.
• A Poker table needs a minimum of 2 people and a maximum of 9 people. Each person will be dealt 2 cards clockwise, starting with the Small Blind

Terms to master

Dealer (Marked with the letter D): The dealer is the first person to enter the table and mark the dealing position. The dealer will receive the last card in turn, and the person receiving the first card is the Small Blind. After each game, the Dealer will switch to the person next to the current Dealer.

Small Blind – Small Blind (S): The person immediately to the left of the Dealer is the Small Blind. This player is forced to bet the minimum amount of the table.

Big Blind – Big Blind (B): The person next to the Small Blind is the Big Blind. This person must bet twice the Small Blind before the first 2 cards are dealt. If there are only 2 players, the Dealer is the Big Blind.

Bet (Bet): The player will start betting in case no one has bet before.

Raise (Raise): The player has the right to raise the bet compared to the previous bet amount. This amount will be put into the Pot.

All in (All in): The player will bet all the money they have.

Call (Theo): The player agrees to spend an amount equal to the highest bet that the previous players have placed to continue the game.

Give up (Check): When no one has raised or followed before you, you can choose Check. This action helps you not to have to put in extra bets but still continue the game.

Fold (Fold): Discard all cards when you feel you can’t follow. All the money you have bet will be lost if you fold.
