Score: your finishing place (more opponents = more points). Win the table for the top score; the first player out scores nothing.

How to play

  • Everyone starts with the same chips. Each hand you get 2 private cards; 5 shared cards are dealt face up in the middle: the flop (3), the turn (1) and the river (1).
  • Make the best 5-card hand from your 2 cards and the 5 shared ones. The best hand at the end wins the pot - or everyone else folds.
  • Before the flop, the two players left of the dealer (D) post the blinds. Then each player in turn can fold (give up), call (match the bet), check (no bet to match) or raise.
  • All-in means betting every chip you have. You can't be forced out for more; a side pot covers anyone who bet more.
  • The blinds go up every few hands so the game always finishes. Last player with chips wins.
