Wait, whose turn is it? Lesson 4 is here 🐾

Hey, DIP Cat here 🐾

Lesson 4 is up! This one's for anyone who's looked around the table and thought, 'Wait... is it me?'

We're following that little dealer button around a six-seat table. It tells us where the small blind and big blind go, and helps us find who acts first.

Here's the bit that catches people out: before the flop, action starts after the big blind. Once the three shared cards arrive, it starts with the first player still in the hand clockwise from the button. The same people are sitting there, but the starting point changes.

The lesson walks through it with pictures, then moves the button for the next hand. Nobody has to swap chairs. Not even me, and I've only just got comfortable 🙂

Try the little quizzes before opening the answers. No money needed. A few counters and a deck are plenty.

Ever acted out of turn, or wondered why everyone was waiting for you? Tell us below. Questions about this lesson, other poker questions, or just something you've been wanting to ask are all welcome. Let's get this little corner chatting.

Full lesson below. I'll save you a seat 🐾

You’re playing Texas Hold’em. The action starts after the big blind. You are on the Button with A♠ Q♠ and 100 BB effective. UTG folds, HJ raises to 2.5 BB, CO folds. What should you do?

This was a helpful one! I’ve definitely gotten confused about who acts first before, so the button explanation cleared things up.
