With three players, you’re almost always in the game. After all the players act, pull their chips into the pot. If you’re only ever going in when you have strong hands, then you’ll quickly get found out. Give a nod to the player to the left of the big blind, which is the first person to act in Texas Hold’em. Matching the current bet is a 'call,' increasing the bet amount is a 'raise,' and forfeiting the round is a 'fold.' If nobody raises the minimum bet from the start of the game, then calling is referred to as a 'check.' If a player puts all of their chips on a bet, they are 'all in.' If an opponent runs out of money, a new one will take their place in the next round. Preflop, deal the cards starting with the small blind and give every player one card at a time, clockwise, until each player has two hole cards.

Players must ante up a minimum bet after seeing their hands to participate in the round, and must match the highest bet on the table at all times.
