Each player receives two private hole cards, followed by five community cards dealt in stages: the flop (three cards), the turn (one card), and the river (one card). Betting occurs after each deal, with options to fold, call, or raise. At showdown, the best hand wins the pot.
The game's appeal lies in its mix of skill and chance, encouraging players to read opponents and adapt strategies dynamically. It's a staple in both casual home games and high-stakes tournaments worldwide.
