Understand the Showdown in Roller Coaster Poker

It's important to understand that round five in roller coaster is the only round with a showdown and it is important to understand why that's the case. After every round we have this 1 2 3 show and if you are in, you have a chip, let's say you and I are in we show each other our cards and we decide who wins. We'll say I won and you match the pot.

That is the incomplete information by not having a showdown until the end of the hand.
