How to play Poker
Texas Hold'em, in short
Two cards face down to each player. The two players left of the dealer post the small and big blinds. A round of betting, then three community cards face up (the flop), another round, a fourth card (the turn), another round, a fifth (the river), and a final round.
Anyone still in makes their best five-card hand from any combination of their two hole cards and the five on the table. Best hand takes the pot.
Hand rankings
From the top: straight flush, four of a kind, full house, flush, straight, three of a kind, two pair, one pair, high card. Ties are broken by the highest card in the hand, then the next, and so on.
Betting
On your turn you check (if nobody has bet), bet or raise, call, or fold. A round ends when everyone still in has matched the largest bet. Agree your stakes, blind structure and whether raises are capped before you deal the first hand — it saves an argument later.
Other games from the same kit
The same deck and chips run five-card draw, seven-card stud, Omaha, Chicago and every dealer's-choice oddity your group has ever invented.
What DiceyTable gives you for Poker
DiceyTable gives you the physical game — the board, the pieces and real 3D physics — not a rules engine. Nobody's move is validated and no illegal move is blocked, so house rules and variants cost you nothing. It runs in the browser with nothing to install, it is free, and you share a link to bring people in.
- 52-card deckA full deck with real card faces, that shuffles and deals.
- ChipsModelled chips in five denominations — 10, 50, 100, 500 and 1000.
- Card standSomewhere to rest your hole cards face down.
- BowlFor the pot, if you would rather not push chips into the middle.
Setup is manual: you place the board and pieces from the in-table object library, the same way you would unpack a box. Every player needs a free account — there is nothing to download on any device.
What it does not do
- There is no pot tracking, no automatic betting round and no hand evaluator. A dealer at the table manages the pot, exactly as at a home game.
- No real money, ever. DiceyTable chips are play objects and cannot be cashed out.
- You and your friends enforce the rules between you, exactly as you would sitting at a real table.
