I’m trying to learn how to play and I understand what community cards are, what they do, who goes first/last, etc, but how do the cards in your hand effect the game? I can’t find the answer anywhere and it’s getting confusing.

  • You make your best hand out of your 2 cards and the up to 5 cards on the table.

    So if you have 2 aces and there’s 1 ace and 2 king on the flop, the best hand is a full house. 3 ace and 2 king.

    If the next card is a ace, it’s now 4 aces.
