Bet 365 Poker Bonus

Before you sit down at a poker table make sure to read the sign next to the dealer which shows the minimum table limit. After you make the first minimum bet, five cards are dealt at first, face down, to each player. After this first deal the first round of betting starts. You must at least call to stay into the game. Afterwards you have to decide which cards you want to keep and which ones you want to throw away. You can hold or throw away as many cards as you like. After everybody on the table decides which cards they want to hold or discard, the dealer deals the same amount of cards to each player as they threw away. After this second and final deal the betting is about to start. After everybody on the table is done with the betting the highest ranked hand wins and gets whatever is in the pot in the middle.

Call

If you call, you just bet enough money to match what has been bet since the last time you bet. For instance, if you bet a dollar in the last betting round and somebody bets 2 dollars, you have to call with one more dollar.

Raise

If you want to raise you first have to call the highest bet on the table. After you call the other amount it is basically up to you how much you want to bet. Let's take the example from above: Somebody on the table raises a dollar, you have to call him with a dollar and then you can raise whatever you want. Most tables have a raising limit which depends on the minimum table limit. So if you are playing on a table with a minimum of one dollar you might not be able to bet more than ten in one round.

Fold

If you fold you drop out of the current round and lose any chance of winning the pot in the middle. This should be done if you think your hand has no chance of winning anyway. When you fold you don't have to put anything into the pot.
