Depending on the cards in their hands, players have to decide will they continue and, in that case,to place big blind. When the flop is turned, a new round starting with placing big blinds from the player who is first to the button in a clockwise direction. A player can increase the bet (bet), missed wager and continue with the game (check) or give up the game (fold).
Then dealer turns new card, the fourth community card on the board. This card is called the turn. Then a new round of wagers is starting. Betting process is the same as after the flop.
