The dealer is not only the head of the table but also the person with final responsibility in each previous betting round. In casinos, there is usually a professional dealer serving each playing hall. However, at tables for amateurs, the dealer’s role is divided into turns. This means that the dealer will be the last to act in previous betting rounds, possibly the last and most important decision before starting each hand.

Besides understanding the dealer, mastering basic and advanced poker terms is also an important factor for success in this game.

• Small blind (SB): The first player to the left of the dealer is responsible for making a mandatory bet before each hand. This bet is usually 1/2 the amount of the big blind or can be the full amount if the SB has fewer chips than the remaining chips on the table.
• Big blind (BB): The next player to the dealer’s left and the first bet in each new hand. BB’s bet amount is always double SB’s bet amount.
• Early position: a sitting position in a betting round, requiring the player to act first compared to others on the poker table. Usually the third position is from the dealer’s left.
• The dealer button marks the dealer’s position for the next game. Usually a small round piece of plastic with a “D” symbol on the side. This position will be moved clockwise after each hand, and the player with this symbol in front of him will be the dealer for the next hand.
