Two hole cards. Five community cards. Best five-card poker hand wins. Here are the rules, then a free school that sits you on a real table so it sticks.
Each player gets two private hole cards. Five community cards come out in the middle. You make your best five-card hand using any combination of your hole cards and the board. In Hold’em you may use 0, 1, or 2 hole cards.
The dealer button moves one seat clockwise every hand. The two seats left of the button post the small blind and big blind — forced bets so there is always a pot. Preflop action starts left of the big blind. After the flop, action starts left of the button (the button acts last — the best seat).
Preflop — hole cards only. Flop — three community cards. Turn — the fourth. River — the fifth. After each street there is a betting round.
Fold gives up the pot. Check passes when nobody has bet. Call matches a bet. Bet or raise puts more in. You can only check if the pot is unopened on that street.
If more than one player is still in after the river, cards go face-up. Hand rankings decide the winner. Ties split the pot. Higher category always beats a lower one; kickers only matter inside the same category.
Memorize which hands to play from each seat, then take graded hands. PokerGym School (Poker 101) is free and uses the same felt as Train and Live. There is no cash-out — this is play-money practice.
