The Definitive Guide to Texas Hold'em

Texas Hold'em is the most popular poker variant in the world. Its simple rules are easy to learn, but its strategic depth takes a lifetime to master. Here’s a breakdown of how a hand is played.

The Objective & Setup:

The goal is to win the 'pot'—the sum of all bets made in a hand. You win by having the best five-card poker hand at the showdown, or by forcing all other players to fold their hands before the final card is dealt.

1. The Blinds: Before any cards are dealt, two players post mandatory bets called the 'small blind' and the 'big blind'. This ensures there's money in the pot to play for from the start.
2. The Hole Cards: Each player is dealt two private cards, face down. These are your 'hole cards'.
3. Pre-Flop Betting Round: The first round of betting begins with the player to the left of the big blind. They can choose to Fold (discard their hand), Call (match the big blind amount), or Raise (increase the bet).
4. The Flop: Three community cards are dealt face up in the center of the table. These are for all players to use. Another betting round occurs.
5. The Turn: A fourth community card is dealt. A third betting round follows.
6. The River: The fifth and final community card is dealt. The final betting round takes place.
7. The Showdown: If two or more players remain, they reveal their hole cards. The player who can make the best five-card hand using any combination of their two hole cards and the five community cards wins the pot.
