How to Play

Win chips by forming the best five-card hand — or by making everyone else fold. Here is how a hand of Texas Hold'em plays out at Llamabet.

Setup

• Players: 2–8 at a table.
• Dealer button: marks the dealer and rotates clockwise after each hand.
• Blinds: the player left of the dealer posts the small blind; the next player posts the big blind.

Hand structure

1. 1
   Deal — each player receives two private hole cards.
2. 2
   Pre-flop — fold, call the big blind, or raise.
3. 3
   Flop — three community cards are dealt, followed by a betting round.
4. 4
   Turn — a fourth community card is dealt, followed by another betting round.
5. 5
   River — the fifth community card is dealt, followed by the final betting round.

Winning

At the showdown, combine your two hole cards with the five community cards to make your best five-card hand. The strongest hand takes the pot — or, if everyone else folds, the last player standing wins it outright.
