So, after you place your bet, the player and the dealer are dealt two cards each but player’s cards are turned face up, while dealer’s cards are face down. There is a special term for these cards, they are known as pocket cards.
Then, three cards, known as the flop, are dealt and the player has to make a decision whether to Raise or Fold. If the player believes dealer’s hand is weaker, they have to Raise but if the cards dealt are of low value, they’d better fold.
If the player chooses to Raise, the amount of the bet should be twice the size of the initial ante bet. In case the player chooses to Fold, the ante is forfeited and two cards are added to the flop. The lowest possible hand the dealer can qualify with is a pair of 4s.
