All online poker games have different stages :
- Preflop: when the player gets the cards in his hand.
- Flop: when the first three cards are dealt to the table.
- Turn: the fourth card dealt.
- River: is the fifth and final card.
At each stage, players can raise, follow or fold. The player who wins the game is the one with the best hand by combining one or two of his cards with the cards on the table (example of Texas Hold'em). In Omaha or Omaha Hi-Lo, the player must use two of the four cards received.
- The Showdown: For the players who followed, the showdown consists of showing their cards, which then determine the winner of the game.
End of the game
In general, the winner of any poker hand is the player who has the best hand when all the cards are revealed at the end of the hand (this is called the 'showdown'). The winner can also be the player who makes the last bet that is not called by the other players. The player then wins, without proceeding to the showdown. In short, the winner is the one who wins the game with the best hand or if all other players don't call and fold.
