The game

Initially the player has to make two indentical bets, one on ante and one on blind. Another bet may be made on trips. Read more about trips later.

Two cards are dealt face down to each player and the bank. The five community cards, that all players and the bank use to combine the best possible poker hand, is placed face down in the center of the table.

Now the player can evaluate the hand and subsequently make one of two choices. If the player wishes to bet on the hand, a bet of 3 or 4 times the ante bet can be made on play.
If the player does not wish to bet on the hand it is possible to "check".
The flop, three of the five community cards, is turned.

Players who chose to "check" after the first two cards, now has a chance to bet 2 times the ante bet on play or to "check" again.
The last two community cards, turn and river, are turned.

Players who chose to "check" the first two rounds now have one last chance to bet 1 times the ante bet on play. Players who still do not wish to bet on their hand has to fold and will lose their bets.
Finally the bank cards are turned and after best possible hand for the bank has been established, it is measured against all remaining players' hands.
