How to Deal and Play Texas Hold'em
From Bill Burton, former About.com Guide
The Flop- Turn over three community cards.
The Flop- The first three community cards are turned over.
After the first betting round is completed, three cards are dealt and turned face up in the middle of the table. This is known as the "Flop." These are community cards used by all the players. Another betting round begins with the first active player to the left of the dealer button. The minimum bet for this round is again two dollars.
