Rules of the Game in Double Hold'em are the same as in Texas Hold'em, but there is one major difference. You get three hole cards and the flop choose one of them as a point card. Both the remaining hole cards are played with a point card. Then you play two two-card combination with five community cards that are doubly interesting than in Texas Hold'em.

 Initially, players receive three cards, view and use that can only ones. Then in the middle of the table laid out the five community cards, view and use that can each player. The game is divided into four betting rounds, the course moves from one player to another in a clockwise direction. Betting begins with the first player over the dealer button, which, after each hand is shifted one position to the left. In online games, the dealer button replaces the 'real' dealer.

If two or more players get an equally strong winning five-card hand is declared a draw and the pot is split between two players. If after receiving the prize is an odd chip, it gets the first player to the left of the dealer button.

Blinds
 Before the game two players to the left of the dealer make "blind" bets - the blinds. They are so called because the players make them before they see the map. The blinds serve to safeguard the availability of money in the bank before the game. Rate of the first player left of the dealer called the "small blind", and the rate followed by a player - the "big blind".

Pre-Flop
 Each player gets three cards lying face down. They are called closed or pocket cards. The game starts from the first player left of the big blind. He or she has three options: call a bet, raise or fold.
   Bets are placed around the table clockwise until each player will bet in accordance with their cards.
   If one player raises, then all want to stay in the bank should make an equal bet, raise or fold again without having to invest a large sum.
    A player who has put the big blind (the first big mandatory rate) may skip the course and remain in the game without adding money to the bank. But if an opponent has raised, the big blind has three options: fold, call, or re-raise.
    Once all players have folded or have other relevant rates, begins a flop.
