1. A white disk known as the button designates which player is the dealer

Also to go along with the free poker rules, here is how the betting works:

1. When its your turn and nobody player has already bet you have two options. Check or bet. If you check you are not committing any chips to the pot, you are not betting yet, you are just waiting to see what other players might do after you. If you bet you are putting chips into the pot. You must bet at least the equal amount of the big blind. Other players are required to put in at least the same amount if they want to stay in the hand.
2. If there is a bet already before its your turn to act , you must either call , raise or fold. If you call you must agree to put the same amount in the pot as the player who bet before you. If you raise you make the bet amount larger than the proceeding player. You must raise at least the amount of the bet that proceeded it. If you fold you give your hold cards to the dealer and stop playing in the hand.
3. At any time a player has the option of going all in. If the player how goes all in has more chips than you , you can opt to call all in for just equaling the chips that you have left. If more players are still in the pot, and have more chips than you , they will compete for a side pot.
