The initial betting pool will be divided among players, and players can raise the amount they put into the pot at any time. Each player will then go around in a circle to decide whether to call or fold. After the player has made his or her decision, he or she should turn over their cards to the dealer. You can also raise your bet before the betting action begins. A player with the final card can then declare all in, but must bet exactly the same amount as the dealer.
A full house is a hand with three cards of the same rank. This hand wins if it is higher than the other. In case of a tie, a second four-of-a-kind wins. If there are two four-of-a-kind hands with the same rank, a high card outside the four-of-a-kind hand wins. If there are no four-of-a-kind hands with the same rank, a straight is a winning hand.
