Some standard rules
A maximum of four bets, which includes one bet, and three raises are usually allowed
for each betting round per player. The term cap is used to describe the final raise in a
round since betting is then capped and no one can make another raise. Once capped,
players will have the option of calling or folding only. Folding can be done at any
stage of the game. The player from then on would not be considered as part of the
game. He/she would not have any rights over any pots created on the table.

Apart from the fold option, a player could also get the option of “Check”, in which the
player can pass his/her turn without placing a bet. This option would not always be
available to the player, and depends on the actions taken by the previous player in the
hand. The player HAS TO equal the amount of bet placed by any other players for each
round in the hand.

Poker is typically played “table stakes”, meaning only the chips in play at the
beginning of each hand may be used throughout the hand. This means that the player
cannot get additional funds from the cashier while he is in the midst of a game. The
table stakes rule has an application called the “All-In” rule, which states that a player
cannot be forced to forfeit a hand because the player does not have enough chips to call
a bet.

Exceptions to the value of betting in each round:
A player who does not have enough chips to call a bet is declared All-In. The player is
eligible for the portion of the pot to the point of his final wager. All further action
involving other players takes place in a “side pot”, which is unavailable to the player
who has already gone All-In. When a player goes All-in, the pot currently at the center
of the table, which has contributions from him/her as well, is treated as the main pot,
over which the All-in player has rights. After the player goes all-in, all the new bets are
placed in a side pot, over which only the contributing players have rights. The All-in
player does not have any rights over the side pot. The side pot is then given to the next
winning combination.

After the final round of betting, it’s time for Showdown. This refers to the action of
deciding who the winner of the pot is. Five cards of the total of hole and community
cards are to be used for deciding on the winning hands. A combination of the following
may be used -

On the final round of betting, the player who bets first (or checks first if no one else
bets) is required to show their cards first at the showdown. If they have the best hand,
the remaining players may/may not show their cards as they wish. The aggressors’
hand is only turned over first if he was the last to initiate action on the river.

If two or more hands are the same ranking, the winner is the one having the higher
cards. For example, a Flush with an Ace high beats a Flush with a King high. If the
poker hands remain tied, then the highest card not being held in common (the kicker)
determines the winner. The suit order of the cards is not taken into account while
deciding on the winning cards. Should poker hands be absolutely identical in ranking,
the rule of poker pot distribution will be split evenly between the two or more winning
players.

In Limit Texas Hold’em Poker a maximum of four bets is allowed per player during
any betting round. This includes a (1) bet, (2) raise, (3) re-raise, and (4) cap, but in No-
Limit Texas Holdem and Pot-Limit Texas Hold’em there is no limit to the number of
raises that a player can make. The only criteria being that you cannot raise yourself,
(i.e. if a player bets during a betting round, then that player would have to be raised by
another player in order for him/her to be able to re-raise). If all the other players in the
hand only call or fold, the player would not get an option to raise, because the last raise
was done by him/her.
