Step 3: The Flop

• The dealer reveals 3 community cards face-up in the center of the table.
• Players now use any combination of their 2 hole cards and the 3 community cards to make the best 5-card hand.

Step 4: First Betting Round (Post-Flop)

• Betting resumes, starting with the player to the left of the dealer.
• Players may call, raise, or fold.

Step 5: The Turn (4th Community Card)
