Two cards starting with the player on his left & ending on himself/herself. The player on the dealer’s left is the first player to act and they have a choice to:

1. Bet (this is No-Limit Hold’em so they can bet ANY amount they want)

2. Check (doing nothing basically).

If anyone decides to bet then the rest of the players have the option to:

1. Call (Match the amount of the raise into the pot)

2. Fold (Give up the hand and all the chips they’ve already put in the pot)

3. Raise (Put even more chips into the pot)
