There is no single, definitive order of play in poker. However, there are a few key principles that most players follow.
First and foremost, you must ante up before you start playing any hands. This gives other players the opportunity to put money into the pot and establishes the rules of the game.
Next, you should generally stick to playing hands that are better than yours, unless you have an extremely strong hand that you feel confident about playing. This is often called “playing tight.”
Finally, it’s important to keep track of your position in the standings. This can help you make better decisions about when to fold and when to continue playing.
