How betting and dealing are done?

Here is how the processes of deal and placing bets are organized.

You might wander how exactly you can be given cards when playing online poker and how actually do you place your bets. Here is how it works:

So basically when you launch the poker software assuming that you have registered yourself and already have the login and the password and you know how to sit on a table of your choice. Now starting from that point you would see the avatars and figures of your opponents on the table, the table itself where cards are put faces up and the pot can be seen. There is this thing that you will face in any case when sitting on a table. And that thing is that you are entering while the others already play some deal and you see their actions but you do not take part because you have to wait for the next dealing round, so do not close the program at this point thinking that you are not allowed to play. You just have to wait for the deal to finish in order to join the others.

When you already are joint to the group of players on the table then the dealing is done the following way - you are given your cards in front of your avatar meaning that is your hold cards that other people in the game cannot see and they are private known only to you. So if we assume we are talking about texas holdem you would be given two cards to look at before the first betting round. Your opponents are also given their cards so that you cannot see them.

Betting round is then up to take place and all the players are being presented with the buttons by which they will make the choice. Depending on the situation you and all of the others will have the Check button meaning you check on the current sum.
