Let’s revise step by step your first online game against 9 rivals. The poker game begins with the presence of all 10 participants. The two gamers after the bottom “D” (dealer) bet “in blind”. The gamer situated immediately after the bottom is “small blind” and the next one is “Big blind”. Each gamer receives two cards. The person after the big blind first deals the cards. Its position is called “under the gun”. When it is your turn, you can choose what to do: to call, raise or fold. If you are at the small blind, you already have bet half of the needed amount to see the cards. If you are at the big blind, you have bet the whole amount you need, with the exception of cases in which the poker gamer before your turn has raised the bet. Your choice again is to call, raise or fold.

If no one before your turn has no made a bet, you can check and see the next card without gambling money. If there is a bet, you should pay it or re-raise it or just fold.
