The three cards are dealt simultaneously following the completion of the opening round of Betting . After the flop, there is a second round of betting, which is followed by the dealing of a fourth, or " Turn ", card; and a fifth, or " River ", card. The three cards are often dealt face-down in a stack, then the stack is turned face-up and quickly slid to one side to expose all three cards, such that a player cannot be seen to be reacting to one particular card. The flop is often considered the key to a game of Texas Hold 'em , since by the conclusion of the flop, a player will have seen five of the seven cards that will make up his Hand at the Showdown . While the flop marks the point at which players have significant information about the value of their hand, three more betting rounds are still to be played out. SEE ALSO |
