The Hand

Post Blinds	Small Blind and Big Blind are posted, starting clockwise at the Dealer's left.
Deal 2 Cards	Dealer deals two cards face down to each player from a shuffled deck.
FIRST Betting Round (a.k.a. Pre-flop)	The first player to the left of the Big Blind must either Call, Call With Raise (more simply: Raise ), or Fold. If all players in this round Fold or Call, then the player with the Big Blind has a final option to Stand Good or Raise.
Deal The Flop	Dealer places the next card from the deck face down as a burn card and then places the next 3 cards face up to begin the formation of the community cards.
SECOND Betting Round	The next round of betting begins at the player to the Dealer's immediate left. That player may either Check with a zero bet or Open with a minimum value of the Big Blind. During their turn to bet, a player may Fold their hand to be out of the hand. Subsequent players to a Check may either Check, Open, or Fold. Subsequent players to an Open may Call, Fold, or Raise.
Deal the Turn (a.k.a. 4th Street)	Dealer deals a burn card face down, then deals face up 1 more community card.
THIRD Betting Round	Same betting as in 2nd Betting Round
Deal the River (a.k.a. 5th Street)	Dealer deals a burn card face down, then deals face up 1 more community card.
FOURTH and Final Betting Round	Same betting as in 2nd Betting Round
The Showdown	The player to the left of the last player to call displays their hand, followed by any remaining players. A player may muck their hand by not displaying it and thereby removing themselves from hand contention.

Notes

The minimum value for a Raise is the value of the Big Blind for the hand.
To help others to understand what you are doing, it is always good to verbally claim what you are doing. If you intend to Raise, simply saying "Raise" will help remove a lot of confusion as to what you are doing.
Verbally, in your turn to bet, comments such as "Check", "Call", "Raise", "Raise $X" or "All-in" are binding and will constitute action.
Arrange your entire bet's chips before pushing it out into the pot area. Please, no "string bets", where you put out enough to call and then reach back in your stack for a Raise bet.
Cards accidentally turned over are "Dead Cards" and are removed from play.
We attempt to keep the count of players even at all the tables and may move players from table to table.
At 10 players remaining, we all merge to a final table.
We're open to suggestions about rules that may seem unfair to you. Any rules that would assist you to play as if you were at a Casino are the ones we attempt to abide by. Every poker group retains House Rules to some degree. The House Rules we have come up are with an attempt to keep play to be as fun and fair as possible for all our players.
