Texas holdem is a card game. It is played with a typical 52 card
deck. You can find it in countries all around the world in casinos to
cardrooms, online and in home games. Hold'em can be played with as little as
two players (going "heads up"), up to a max of eleven players. Regular poker
hand ranks apply to this game. For example a flush beats a straight. A
straight beats three of a kind and so on. |

The typical hold'em game goes as follows and
is broken down into five categories.
Preflop:
Starting with the dealer button, each person is dealt one card. Then a
second card. Both cards are face down. After everyone receives their
pocket/hole cards (the two cards face down just dealt), then betting occurs.
Note: the dealer button is a actually a button that says "dealer" on it or
"d" that is passed around the table after each hand. It signifies where the
dealing is done from.
Flop:
The dealer turns over three cards in the middle of the table (called "the
flop"). These are community cards that each player can use to create the
best hand possible out of. Once again betting occurs.
Turn:
The dealer turns over another card making four community cards. This fourth
card is called "the turn" or sometimes "fourth street". Betting occurs
again.
River:
The dealer turns over the fifth and last community card. This is called "the
river" or "fifth street". Betting occurs for the last time.
Showdown:
The remaining players in the hand show their cards in order from the person
who bet first. Each player uses his two cards, and the five community cards
to create the best hand (5 cards total). A player can use any combination so
even if one card from his pocket cards and four of the community cards
creates the best hand, it is fine. When all five of the cards in the
community make the best hand then everyone splits the pot. This is called
"the board plays". Also note that in any time during the game a player can
fold and get out of the hand. All bets will be lost at that point.
