The dealer deals the player and himself two cards face down. One community card is dealt face-up, and two community cards are dealt face down by the dealer.
The player must either fold, forfeiting his Ante, or make a Raise Bet equal to his Ante after examining his cards.
The dealer reveals the second community card. The player might choose to check (and stop betting) or place a second Raise Bet equal to his Ante.
