for two players in each  
hand. The blinds rotate to  
the left with each hand.  
The blind is applied to a  
player's first bet or raise. If  
that player folds, he for-  
feits the blind, plus any-  
thing else he put in the pot.  
Blinds are bets and not  
antes. When it is the turn  
of a player who posted a  
blind, he may use the blind  
as all or part of his  
bet/raise. If he folds, he  
loses the blind plus any-  
thing else he put in the pot.

in four stages or rounds.  
Before dealing each  
round, the dealer normally  
discards the top card into a  
pile of unused cards. This  
eliminates the possibility  
of using a card someone  
has been able to see.  
Dealing a card to the pile  
of unused cars is called  
“burning” the top card.  
The big blind is equal to  
the lower betting limit.  
The big blind is posted by  
the second player to the  
dealer's left. If there are  
only two players, the deal-  
er posts the big blind.  
The No-Limit  
Game  
In No-Limit Texas Hold  
‘Em, the maximum allow-  
able bet or raise is the  
amount you have on the  
table. The minimum  
allowable raise is the  
amount of the previous bet  
or raise. For example, if  
the first player to act bets  
$100, then the second  
player must raise a mini-  
mum of $100 (a total bet  
of $200).  
There may be one or  
more additional big blinds.  
Each new player is  
required to post the big  
blind for his first hand,  
and may use the blind as  
all or part of his bet. If he  
folds, he loses the blind.  
One card is dealt to  
each player. The player  
with the high card deals  
the first hand. If more than  
one player has the high  
card, the first player to  
receive the high card  
deals. The deal is passed to  
the left with each new  
hand.  
All blinds must be post-  
ed before play begins.  
There are two required  
blinds for each hand.  
Once all of the blinds  
have been posted, play  
begins.  
The small blind is equal  
to one-half the lower bet-  
ting limit. The small blind  
is posted by the first play-

2. If you are dealt low cards  
of different suits that are uncon-  
nected, fold the hand unless it is  
very cheap to stay in.  
9. Early in the game, getting  
caught on a bluff is not neces-  
sarily bad. This can put in the  
minds of the other players that  
you are a bluffer. They will con-  
tinue to call with losing hands,  
just to avoid being suckered.  
The warranty covers normal con-  
sumer use and does not cover dam-  
age that occurs in shipment or fail-  
ure that results from alterations,  
accident, misuse, abuse, neglect,  
wear and tear, inadequate mainte-  
nance, commercial use, or unreason-  
able use of the unit. This warranty  
does not cover cost of repairs made  
or attempted outside of the factory.  
Ship the unit carefully packed,  
preferably in the original carton, and  
send it prepaid, and adequately  
insured. Include a letter, detailing  
the complaint and including your  
daytime telephone number, inside  
the shipping carton.  
3. Don't get too excited if  
you have a good hand using  
cards in the flop. Remember that  
there are probably other good  
hands using those same cards.  
10. Watch the other players,  
even if you are out of the hand.  
Look for clues as to the strength  
of their hands and their propen-  
sity to bluff.  
If your warranty has expired and you  
want an estimated fee for service,  
write to the above address, specify-  
ing the model and the problem.  
4. If you are dealt a low pair,  
be careful. Fold the hand unless  
it is very cheap to stay in.  
Any applicable implied warranties,
