The first of the men shakes his head. "No cost. We're heading that way anyway," he said.<br/><br/>The other man shuffles the cards a few times, quickly dealing out in a circle, dealing two cards face down to each of them. "We'll start first without bets. There are several betting rounds normally, the first one is now. You'd get to decide how much you want to bet, raise the bet, or get out of this round without having to pay to stay in." He continues, explaining about each of the game's betting rounds, what cards are dealt between them, and how the final betting round ends when everyone still playing has put in the same amount of money or has quit. If there are two or more players still remaining at the end, the cards are revealed and whoever has the best hand wins. He then goes over the relative values of different hands and how they rank against each other.<br/><br/>After he's explained it, he deals three more cards on the table, face up, then another card, and then another card. When there are five cards face up on the table, and two in each player's hand, he points out the final concept of the game. "You're trying to make the best hand of five cards out of the seven in front of you. These five, and the two you've been dealt."<br/><br/>"Do you have coins for bets?" the first man asked. "Or would you like to wager something other than coin?"
