Betting limit must be decided before the game starts, if it is a limit Game, but in an unlimited Game the declaration of limit is for the sake of formality only.
Each player places ante so that it can guarantee that someone will always win on each game. This game is played in a clock wise direction starting from the left Player. One player deals cards keeping the card face down after paying the amount of the ante. Then the first player places a bet. A player betting first can be any one but its better to start from the left player i.e. First Player.
