8/18/2021 Dealing In Poker | How To Deal Texas Hold'em Poker | Deal Poker [2021]
Texas Hold'em is the most popular variation of poker in the world. Played in di erent marquee tournaments, this game is a classic. In this game  
a poker dealer has a very active role.
The dealer starts the game by dealing one card to each player to decide who is going to hold the button. The player with highest card gets the  
button. Post this the dealer starts distributing the hole cards.
Read below to know the basics of the game, how to deal poker and the role of a dealer to deal Texas Hold'em–
1. Shu ing the Cards –
The rst and the most important thing in Texas Hold'em dealing, is shu ing the cards. If a deck is not shu ed, then the players may get  cards  in 
s equence, thus disrupting the game and gaining an unfair advantage. To prevent this, the dealer should shu e the cards in an appropriate  
and conservative way so that not  even one card is seen. Usually a deck is shu ed 4 times before a cut.
2. Dealing the Cards –
The second obvious thing is dealing with the cards among the players. The dealer should deal cards to each player in a way that the other  
players can’t see the cards being dealt. It is important to be careful so that no card which is supposed to be face-down turns out  to be face-up.  
To know how and when to deal Texas Hold'em cards read below –
·In Texas Hold'em the dealer is required to rst, in a clockwise direction, deal 2 hole cards which have to be dealt face-down to each of the  
players.
·Then before each betting round the dealer has to place 5 c ommunity cards on the board, face-up three at the same time, then another  and 
then one more respectively.
3. Managing the Pot 
–
The third thing in how to deal poker cards is managing the pot. It is the responsibility of  the poker dealer to ensure that all the bets and sizes of  
the bets are placed properly throughout the gameplay. The dealer has to oversee that the players are actually betting in with their poker chips
w ith the correct denomination. To deal Texas Hold'em cards keep the following in mind –
· Pre- op – The bett ing rounds start with the player in posit ion to the left of the big blind.
· Post- op – The betting rounds start with the player in position to the left of the dealer, still in the hand.
4. Burn and Turn 
–
The fourth thing in how to deal poker is the burn and turn. To ‘b urn’ a card means to remove the top card from the deck into the muck pile also  
known as the discard pile face-down. This is done every t ime before the cards are dealt for each betting round so that even if there is a chance  
of marked cards being used, the players won' t  be able to identify the cards simply by looking at the markings on the back of the cards. To deal  
Texas Hold'em cards this burn and turn is done speci cally before dealing the op, the turn and the river.

The nal and equally important role of a poker dealer in how to deal poker cards in Texas Hold'em is awarding the pot  after the showdown. The  
dealer has to determine the h ig hest poker hand when more than one player is in the game leading to the showdown. The player who wins the  
hand is awarded the chips by the dealer and if there is a tie, the pot  is split by the dealer between the winning players. And if by chance there  
are some chips left after splitting equally between the winning players, then the chips left is given to the player who is positioned to the left of   
the dealer button.

the additional responsibility that the dealer bears throughout the game which are as follows –
· If a player did not announce the amount of bet placed by him/her and another player wants to know the amount of bet  placed by the  
previous player, it  is the dealers responsibility to check and announce the amount of  bet  placed.
· At  the end of each b etting round, it  is the role of the dealer to gather all the bets and place them into the pot.
· If a side pot  is created, the dealer has to make sure that the chips are distributed correctly in both the pots.
· The dealer is not  allowed to announce the amount of the pot  and if a player requests it, the dealer can only ‘spread the pot’  so that the  
players can see the chips in the pot.

This is easily the best looking Poker I have played online. I have been playing for about 2 months now, and I keep participating in various  
daily & weekly contests. Still, I was pleasantly suprised to make ₹60,000 in one week itself.

pleasantly surprising to have won this much. GetMega has truly exciting contests running daily & weekly.
