Objective
Win virtual chips with the best five-card hand, or when every opponent folds.
Deal and setup
The variants use virtual starting chips and obligatory blinds. Check the chosen variant for the number of hole cards.
How to play — step by step
- After the blinds, examine your private cards and the amount to call.
- Choose fold, check when no payment is owed, call, or raise; a raise is the total bet for the round.
- Continue through the variant's community-card or exchange stages and any additional betting rounds.
- At showdown compare the best five-card hands; you can also win if all opponents fold. Chips have no cash value.
Important rules to remember
Play example
The current bet is 20 chips. Choosing Raise to 50 means a total bet of 50 for this round, not 20 plus another 50.
