Texas Holdem/Texas Hold'em

Texas Holdem, or Texas Hold'em , is regarded as the world's most popular poker game.

Each player is dealt with two down cards that are theirs alone. Then the dealer places five “community” cards face-up that the players share to combine with their two cards and make the best possible five-card hand.

• Play begins by dealing two cards face down to each player. These are called “hole cards” or “pocket cards”.
• Then the first round of betting follows.
• Play proceeds clockwise from the blinds where players are free to either fold, call the blind bet or raise.
• The blinds are usually “live”, meaning the players may raise themselves when the action gets back around them.
• Next, three cards are dealt face up in the middle of the table; this is known as the “flop”.
• A new round of betting begins starting on the first blind, immediately to the dealer's left.
• Another card is dealt face up, the “turn”, then another round of betting follows, again beginning to the dealer's left.
• Then the final card is dealt, the “river”, and the final round of betting.

Players remaining in the hand create the best five-card hand using any combination of the hole cards and community cards. The highest hand wins the pot.
