In the following step, the croupier shuffles the cards and deals two cards face down to each player. A normal deck of 52 playing cards is used. Then there is the first round of betting. This round is normally referred to as a "pre-flop".

Following the first wagering sequence, the first card of the deck is tossed aside. This discarded card is known as the "burn card", and this is done to ensure there is absolutely no corruption. The next three cards are then dealt face up on the table. These cards are referred to as ‘the flop’. Now comes a second round of betting, after that the dealer throws away a further card and flips 1 more card onto the poker table. Following this, players can utilize the 6th card to form a 5card poker hand.
