How to deal cards in poker?

The power of knowing how to play Texas Hold’em poker or other types of poker games is invaluable, especially for those looking to make it big in the world of gambling. However, before starting a professional poker career, it would be a great idea to understand how dealing actually works and how to use this knowledge in your favor. This knowledge is also important if you want to be a dealer yourself during the game. 

  1. Dealing and Shuffling

Whenever a new deck is introduced into the game, it’s important to ensure that all 52 cards are present. To do so, spread the whole deck evenly across the table, with one card facing up in every spot. After that, get all the cards in your hand and shuffle it thoroughly. As the shuffle is completed, you can now start dealing cards to players. Exact scenario of dealing the cards depends on what type of poker game you play. 

  1. Preflop

 We will use Texas Hold’em rules from now on as an example of dealing. After all players have two cards, the pre-flop betting round begins. The player to the left of the dealer button starts the hand and has the option to check, call, raise, or fold. When each player has made his decision, we are coming to the third stage.

  1. Flop

After the first three cards are dealt, the dealer burns one card and places it facedown on the table. This card along with others will be used later if needed to complete a straight or flush. After that another betting round starts for the players. 

  1. Turn and River

Once the flop betting round is over, the dealer burns another card and places a fourth card face up next to the flop. This is called the turn card. With the turn card starts the final round of the game.
