Transcript: Poker • Deck of cards • Poker chips or money • 2-10 players • Table to play on • Dealer button • Small blind button • Big blind button •1 player is the dealer. •Player to the left of the dealer posts the small blind and the player to the left of the small blind posts the big blind. •Once the blinds are collected, some games collect antes. These are a small amount, usually ¼ of the small blind. Fortunately antes are not common in low stakes or home games. •Every player is dealt 2 cards face down. •After the dealing is done the first round of betting starts with the player to the left of the big blind. Their options in this situation are fold, call, or raise. •The dealer then burns one card and places 3 cards face up. •Another betting round starts this time from the left of the dealer. • The next step is for the dealer to burn another card and flip a single card this card is called the turn. • Another betting round the same as the last betting round • Once that betting round is finished the dealer burns a final card and flips another single card face up called the river. • The last betting round occurs. • At any point, if only one player remains that player wins the money in the middle and you repeat until a time limit is reached or one player is left with all the money. The only thing that changes is the dealer switches to the next player on the left of the previous dealer. The world series of poker started in 1970. It was 2 weeks long and offered 10 tournaments of other poker games including no limit hold’em. Today it has 58 events and runs from May 31st to July 7th.
