    The way to win the game is to have the best 5 cards hand at the show down and to persuade all the other players to fold.

    The games begins by system deducted player's initial bet according to the table limit and dealt one card face down to each player (the hole card) and then one card face up.

    The first betting round is begun by the player with the highest face-up card and choose to bet, pass or fold.

    When the betting round is complete the dealer deals another face up card to each player and there is another betting round, begun by the player who currently has the best hand showing.

    This is repeated until each player has five cards - one face down and four face up - and after the final betting round there is a showdown between the survivors.

    If at any point only one active player remains, that player automatically wins the pot without having to show any cards.
