Poker Rules
Texas Hold'em Rules
• At the start of the game, each player is dealt two face-down cards that only they can see.
• Before the cards are dealt, the "Dealer" position rotates clockwise around the table. The players to the left of the dealer must post "Blind Bets": Small Blind: Posted by the first player to the left of the dealer.
• Big Blind: Posted by the second player to the left of the dealer. The big blind is always double the small blind.Blind bets are mandatory. Other players must at least match the big blind ("Call") to enter the game. Players can also choose to raise the bet ("Raise") or fold ("Fold") and leave the game.
• Since Texas Hold'em is a no-limit game, there’s no maximum limit to raises. On each betting round, players can raise by any amount, provided it is at least the size of the current big blind.
• If a player doesn't have enough chips to match the bet, they can go "All-In" with their remaining chips. However, they can only win the amount they’ve contributed from each player. For example, if three players each bet $10, but one player could only bet $5, they can win up to $20 (their $5 plus $5 from the other two players).
• The remaining $15 forms a "Side Pot," contested by the players who fully matched the bet.
• Pre-Flop: The first betting round starts with the player to the left of the big blind. The big blind has the option to re-raise if all bets are matched.
• Flop: The dealer places three community cards face-up on the table. Betting resumes, starting with the player to the left of the dealer.
• Turn: A fourth community card is dealt face-up, followed by another betting round.
• River: A fifth and final community card is dealt face-up. Players place their final bets.

Turkish Poker Rules
• If there are 4 players at the table in the KlasGaming Network version of Turkish Poker, the 6s are added to the deck, as is done in tables with 5 players.
• Before diving into the details of how to play Turkish Poker, let’s start with the basics. Turkish Poker is a variation of 5 Card Draw Poker played with a deck of 36 or fewer cards, meaning a single deck of standard playing cards is sufficient. Each player starts with five cards in hand, and up to four cards can be exchanged during the game.
• Number of players: Minimum 2, maximum 5.Deck size: Depending on the number of players, low-value cards are removed from the standard 52-card deck, creating a deck with 24 to 36 cards.
• Ace: Generally, the Ace is the highest card, but it can also serve as the lowest card for straights or flushes. For example, if there are 2 or 3 players, the Ace can be used immediately after the smallest card in the deck (e.g., 10-9-8-7-A).
• The suit hierarchy is as follows: Hearts > Spades > Diamonds > Clubs. In the event of a tie, suits are considered.
• The dealer is selected randomly at the start and rotates clockwise after each round. Before cards are dealt, all players must place an equal amount into the pot.
• Cards are shuffled, cut, and dealt clockwise one at a time until each player has five cards.
• To open the game, a player must hold at least a pair of Kings. Players without this hand pass their turn. A player with 2 Kings or higher can also choose to pass.
• Once a player opens, others can call or raise, even if they do not hold a pair of Kings. Players who fold cannot draw new cards or win the pot. If all but one player folds, the remaining player wins the pot.
• If no one opens, the cards are discarded, and the pot remains. Players then place another ante, and a new hand is dealt.
• After the first betting round, if more than one player remains, players can exchange cards to improve their hands.
• Starting from the dealer’s left, each player declares how many cards (0-4) they wish to exchange.
• Players can freely exchange the card(s) used to open the game.
• After the exchange, a second betting round begins, initiated by the player who opened the game in the first round (or the next player clockwise if the opener folded). Players may: Call: Match the current bet. Raise: Increase the bet. Fold: Exit the round.
• If all but one player folds, the remaining player wins the pot. Otherwise, the betting continues until all bets are matched, and hands are revealed.
• The player with the highest-ranked hand at the showdown wins the pot. Note that the hand rankings in Turkish Poker differ slightly from international poker, as outlined below.

Omaha Hold'em Rules
• Omaha Hold’em poker is a variation of poker that closely resembles Texas Hold’em poker. The main difference from Texas Hold’em is that players are dealt 4 hole cards instead of 2. Like Texas Hold’em, it is played with a single deck, and 5 community cards are dealt on the table. Players must combine exactly 2 of their 4 hole cards with exactly 3 of the 5 community cards to make the best possible hand. Unlike Texas Hold’em, you cannot combine a single hole card with the community cards—you must use exactly two.
• Key Differences Between Omaha Hold’em and Texas Hold’em Örneğin Texas Holdem Pokerde, Starting Hand: Texas Hold’em: Players receive 2 hole cards. Omaha Hold’em: Players receive 4 hole cards. Combining Cards: Omaha Hold’em: You must use exactly 2 hole cards and 3 community cards to form your hand. Texas Hold’em: You can use any combination of hole and community cards, including just one or none.
• Pot Limit Omaha (PLO): The minimum bet is equal to the size of the big blind, but players can bet up to the current size of the pot. Any raise must be at least equal to the previous bet or raise during the same round.
• No Limit Omaha (NLO): The minimum bet is the size of the big blind, but players can bet as much as their entire stack.

Omaha Hold'em 5 Card Rules
• Omaha Hold’em 5-Card poker is a variant of Omaha Hold’em with the primary difference being that players are dealt 5 hole cards instead of 4. The game still uses a single deck and, as in standard Omaha Hold’em, a total of 5 community cards are dealt on the table. Players must use exactly 2 of their 5 hole cards combined with 3 of the 5 community cards to create the best possible hand.Similar to standard Omaha, players cannot combine just one hole card with the community cards; they must always use two hole cards.
• Key Differences Between Omaha Hold’em 5-Card and Texas Hold’em Number of Hole Cards: Omaha Hold’em 5-Card: Players receive 5 hole cards. Texas Hold’em: Players receive 2 hole cards. Combining Cards: In Omaha Hold’em 5-Card, players must use exactly 2 hole cards and 3 community cards to form their hand. In Texas Hold’em, players can use any combination of hole and community cards. Example: If the board shows 5 spades (♠) and you hold 1 spade and 4 off-suit cards, you cannot form a flush in Omaha Hold’em 5-Card because you must use 2 hole cards. You would need at least 2 spades in your hand to make a flush.
• Pot Limit Omaha 5-Card (PLO 5): The minimum bet equals the size of the big blind, but players can bet up to the size of the pot.
• No Limit Omaha 5-Card (NLO 5): The minimum bet equals the size of the big blind, but players can bet as much as their entire stack.
