Poker Preflop Definition

Poker is a game of many stages, but none could be as important as the pre-flop. It’s the beginning of the game, and like every other thing in life, first impressions last. This is when you’re most likely to establish some details about yourself. Refers to doing something before the actual event aka the 'flop'.

In poker, pre-flop play refers to the action that occurs before the flop is dealt. A game begins with the small blind and big blind posting the blinds, and cards are dealt to each player.
