At the start of the game, the dealer will place a certain amount of chips on the table. In tournament games, the player with the highest-ranked card of a suit is the dealer’s starting position. The dealer will then raise the antes and blinds at regular intervals. The players are then seated.
It’s important to treat new players with respect. They may make mistakes or act out of turn, but they’re not intentionally doing so. They don’t know all the rules, so you should try to explain them as thoroughly as possible. If you treat them unfairly, they may not come back to your table.
In addition to formal rules, players should abide by unwritten rules. These include polite behavior and general decency. Following these rules will make the game more enjoyable and smooth. Abusing any of them can ruin the game and cause players to leave the table.
