Internet poker also demands that the play begin clockwise and after making sure that there is money in the pot. After the cards are dealt, the player to the left begins the betting. Players can then call, raise or fold. After this round the community cards are dealt. In Texas Holdem or Omaha Poker, the first three cards dealt are called "The Flop". Players use their "pocket cards" and the cards available to them on the table to build the strongest hand possible. After the flop another round of betting ensues.

"The Turn" is the fourth community card and after it is dealt, a third round of betting takes place. "The River" is the fifth and final community card and after it is dealt, a final round of betting is followed by The Showdown. The remaining players declare their hand and show their cards during the Showdown. The player with the strongest hand built from a combination of cards in their hand and on the board, is the winner.

In Texas Holdem poker, you may use any combination of cards while in Omaha there are restrictions on the number of cards you may use. These cards can be taken out from the community cards available and the cards you were dealt at the start of the hand.
