Players then receive two hole (face down) cards each. At this point, players must decide if they're going to check (decline the opportunity to start the betting), bet/call any bets (match another player's bet), or fold if they have a weak hand.

Cheaters employ bots, which can play hands and make decisions independently, enhancing their winning prospects without any physical effort. By offering bots additional play information, cheaters further elevate winning chances, exploiting the bots' emotionless and tireless nature.
