What are the Rules of Online Poker?

Poker online is a strategy and skill game; therefore, mastering poker game rules is crucial if you want to succeed. While there are many different poker variants, these are the most basic rules that cover every aspect of the game and are present in almost all poker games.

• Hand Rankings - The goal of every poker game is to make the best 5-card hand.
• Betting - Players bet chips on the pot. The betting regularly moves clockwise, beginning with the player to the dealer's left. Each player's options are to fold, call, check, or raise.
• Blinds - Most poker games have blinds, which are forced betting. There are usually 2 blinds: the small blind is posted by the player to the dealer's left, and the big blind is posted by the next player to their left.
• Rounds of Play - Poker online is often played across a number of rounds or hands, with players receiving new cards and betting between each round.
• Showdown - After the final round of betting, a showdown happens if two or more players remain in the hand. The best hand wins the pot once the players disclose their cards.
