www.pokerstar.com has many variations, each following the same pattern of play. The right to deal each hand typically rotates among the players and is marked by a token called a 'dealer' button or buck. In a casino, a house dealer handles the cards for each hand, but a button (typically a white plastic disk) is rotated clockwise among the players to indicate a nominal dealer to determine the order of betting.

One or more players are required to make forced bets to create an initial stake for which the www.pokerstar.com players will contest. The dealer shuffles the cards, he cuts, and the appropriate number of cards are dealt to the players one at a time. Cards may be dealt either face-up or face-down, depending on the variant of www.pokerstar.com being played. After the initial www.pokerstar.com deal, the first of what may be several betting rounds begins. Between rounds, the players' hands develop in some way, often by being dealt additional cards or replacing cards previously dealt. At the end of each pokerstar.com round, all bets are gathered into the central pot.

At any time during a betting round, if a player makes a bet, opponents are required to fold, call or raise. If one player bets and no opponents choose to match the bet, the hand ends immediately, the bettor is awarded the pot, no cards are required to be shown, and the next hand begins. This possibility of winning a pot without showing a hand makes bluffing possible. Bluffing is a primary feature of www.pokerstar.com, one that distinguishes it from other vying games and from other games that make use of www.pokerstar.com hand rankings.

At the end of the last betting round or www.pokerstar.com, if more than one player remains, there is a showdown, in which the players reveal their previously hidden cards and evaluate their hands. The player with the best hand according to the www.pokerstar.com variant being played wins the pot.

The most popular www.pokerstar.com variants are as follows:

Draw www.pokerstar.com
Players each receive five — as in five-card draw — or more cards, all of which are hidden. They can then replace one or more of these cards a certain number of times.

Stud www.pokerstar.com
Players receive cards one at a time, some being displayed to other players at the table. The key difference between stud and 'draw' www.pokerstar.com is that players are not allowed to discard or replace any cards.

Community card www.pokerstar.com
Players combine individually dealt cards with a number of "community cards" dealt face up and shared by all players. Each player will attempt to make the best five card www.pokerstar.com hand using the community cards and their own face down cards. Two or four individual cards may be dealt in the most popular variations, Texas hold 'em and Omaha hold 'em, respectively.
