Flop
Community 3/5
Three community cards are dealt together. Betting starts with the first live seat left of the button. If the button is still in, that seat acts last.

Turn
Community 4/5
One more community card makes four. The acting order matches the flop.

River
Community 5/5
The last community card. This bet is after all five are out, and the showdown comes next.
