Before each deal, the cards are shuffled and a player, as designated by the rules of the variant being played, makes a bet. He may raise the amount of the highest raise or fold his hand. Once all players have matched the bet, the dealer deals three cards that are visible to all players, called the flop. Then another round of betting takes place.<\/p>\n
