• The dealer spreads five cards – three at a time, then another, then another – that all players can combine to construct their greatest potential five-card hand.
• Players take turns betting before and after each card(s) is revealed. To remain in the hand and see the following card, all players must have placed the same number of chips in the pot as the others.
