How to Play Texas Hold'em Poker: Holdem Rules & Hands

If you want to learn how to play

Texas hold'em games, 💳 then you need to start from the basic rules and hands. That's

exactly what you'll find on this beginner's guide 💳 to the game.

Texas holdem is a simple

poker game, but it can be daunting to get to grips with.

But don't 💳 let that put you

off. By the time you are down with this beginner's guide to Texas hold'em poker, you

💳 will know:

Here we go over the poker rules for Texas Hold'em.

1. What Is Texas Hold'em

Poker?

Texas Hold'em is the most 💳 popular of all poker variations.

All of the marquee

tournaments around the world (including those played at the World Series of 💳 Poker, the

World Poker Tour, the and the European Poker Tour) feature the no-limit variation of

this game.

Texas hold'em is 💳 so popular that is the only poker game many players will

ever learn.

It takes a moment to learn, but a 💳 lifetime to master.

Discovering how to

play Texas hold'em poker is not difficult and the simplicity of its rules, gameplay,

and 💳 hand-ranking all contribute to the popularity of the game.

However, don't let the

simplicity of the game mislead you.

The number of 💳 possible situations and combinations

is so vast that Texas hold'em can be an extremely complex game when you play at 💳 the

highest levels.

If you are approaching the game of Texas hold'em for the first time,

starting from the basic rules 💳 of the game is key. Not only these are the easiest ones

to learn, but they are also essential to 💳 understand the gameplay and, later on, the

game's basic strategy.

2. Texas Hold'em Poker Rules

So how do you play Texas

hold'em?

The 💳 goal of a Texas hold'em game is to use your hole cards in combination with

the community cards to make 💳 the best possible five-card poker hand.

Hold'em is not

unlike other poker games like five-card draw.

However, the way players construct their

💳 hands in Texas hold'em is a little different than in draw poker.

It's always possible a

player can "bluff" and get 💳 others to fold better hands.

In a game of Texas hold'em,

each player is dealt two cards face down (the ' 💳 hole cards ')

') Over several betting

rounds, five more cards are (eventually) dealt face up in the middle of the 💳 table

These

face-up cards are called the 'community cards.' Each player is free to use the

community cards in combination with 💳 their hole cards to build a five-card poker hand.

community cards

While we will see each betting round and different phase 💳 that forms a

full hand of a Texas hold'em game, you should know that the five community cards are

dealt 💳 in three stages:

The Flop: the first three community cards.

the first three

community cards. The Turn: the fourth community card.

the fourth 💳 community card. The

River:The fifth and final community card.

Your mission is to construct your five-card

poker hands using the best 💳 available five cards out of the seven total cards (your two

hole cards and the five community cards).

You can do 💳 that by using both your hole cards

in combination with three community cards, one hole card in combination with four

💳 community cards, or no hole cards.

If the cards on the table lead to a better

combination, you can also play 💳 all five community cards and forget about yours.

In a

game of Texas hold'em you can do whatever works to make 💳 the best five-card hand.

If the

betting causes all but one player to fold, the lone remaining player wins the pot

💳 without having to show any cards.

For that reason, players don't always have to hold

the best hand to win the 💳 pot. It's always possible a player can 'bluff' and get others

to fold better hands.

If two

or more players make it all of the way to the showdown after the 💳 last community card is

dealt and all betting is complete, the only way to win the pot is to have 💳 the

highest-ranking five-card poker hand.

Now that you know the basics of Texas hold'em and

you start to begin gaining an 💳 understanding of how the game works, it's time to get

into some specifics.

These include how to deal Texas hold'em and 💳 how the betting

works.

How to Play Texas Holdem Poker

Let's have a look at all

💳 the different key aspects of a Texas hold'em game, including the different positions at

the table and the betting rounds 💳 featured in the game.

The Button

The play moves

clockwise around the table, starting with action to the left of the dealer 💳 button.

The

'button' is a round disc that sits in front of a player and is rotated one seat to the

💳 left every hand.

When playing in casinos and poker rooms, the player with the dealer

button doesn't deal the cards (the 💳 poker room hires someone to do that).

When you play

poker home games with friends the player with the button usually 💳 deals the hands.

The

button determines which player at the table is the acting dealer.

The first two players

sitting to the 💳 immediate left of the button are required to post a 'small blind' and a

'big blind' to initiate the betting.

From 💳 there, the action occurs on multiple

streets:

Preflop

Flop

Turn

River

Each one of these moments (or 'streets' in the game's

lingo) is explained further 💳 below.

The button determines which player at the table is

the acting dealer.

In Texas hold'em, the player on button, or last 💳 active player

closest to the button receives the last action on all post-flop streets of play.

While

the dealer button dictates 💳 which players have to post the small and big blinds, it also

determines where the dealing of the cards begins.

The 💳 player to the immediate left of

the dealer button in the small blind receives the first card and then the 💳 dealer

pitches cards around the table in a clockwise motion from player to player until each

has received two starting 💳 cards.

of Position in Poker

The Blinds

Two “Hole Cards” are dealt face down and the 💳 first

round of betting begins

Before every new hand begins, two players at the table are

obligated to post small and 💳 big blinds.

The blinds are forced bets that begin the

wagering.

Without these blinds, the game would be very boring because no 💳 one would be

required to put any money into the pot and players could just wait around until they

are 💳 dealt pocket aces (AA) and only play then.

The blinds ensure there will be some

level of 'action' on every hand.

In 💳 tournaments, the blinds are raised at regular

intervals. In cash games, the blinds always stay the same.

In tournaments, the blinds

💳 are raised at regular intervals.

As the number of players keeps decreasing and the

stacks of the remaining players keep getting 💳 bigger, it is a necessity that the blinds

keep increasing throughout a tournament.

throughout a tournament. In cash games, the

blinds 💳 always stay the same.

The player directly to the left of the button posts the

small blind, and the player to 💳 his or her direct left posts the big blind.

The small

blind is generally half the amount of the big blind, 💳 although this stipulation varies

from room to room and can also be dependent on the game being played.

In a "$1/$2"

💳 Texas hold'em game, the small blind isR$1 and the big blind isR$2.

First Betting Round:

Preflop

Two “Hole Cards” are dealt face 💳 down and the first round of betting begins

The

first round of betting takes place right after each player has been 💳 dealt two hole

cards.

The first player to act is the player to the left of the big blind.

This

position referred 💳 to as 'under the gun' because the player has to act first. The first

player has three options:

Call: match the 💳 amount of the big blind

match the amount of

the big blind Raise: increase the bet within the specific limits of 💳 the game

increase

the bet within the specific limits of the game Fold: throw the hand away

If the player

chooses to 💳 fold, he or she is out of the game and no longer eligible to win the current

hand.

Players can bet 💳 anywhere from the amount of the big blind (the minimum bet

allowed) up to the total amount in the current 💳 pot.

The amount a player can raise to

depends on the game that is being played.

In a game of no-limit Texas 💳 hold'em, the

minimum opening raise must be at least twice the big blind, and the maximum raise can

be all 💳 of the chips a player has in his or her stack (an "all-in" bet).

There are other

betting variations in hold'em 💳 poker.

In fixed-limit hold'em (or just "limit hold'em), a

raise is always exactly twice the big blind.

In pot-limit hold'em (played much 💳 less

often than the other variations), players can bet anywhere from the amount of the big

blind (the minimum bet 💳 allowed) up to the total amount in the current pot.

After the

first player ('under the gun') acts, the play proceeds 💳 in a clockwise fashion around

the table with each player also having the same three options — to call, to 💳 raise, or

fold.

Once the last bet is called and the action is 'closed,' the preflop round is over

and play 💳 moves on to the "flop."

Second Betting Round: The Flop

Three community cards

are dealt on the table and a new betting 💳 round betting.

After the first preflop betting

round has been completed, the first three community cards are dealt and a second

💳 betting round follows involving only the players who have not folded already.

A check

simply means to pass the action to 💳 the next player in the hand.

In this betting round

(and subsequent ones), the action starts with the first active player 💳 to the left of

the button.

Along with the options to bet, call, fold, or raise, a player now has the

💳 option to 'check' if no betting action has occurred beforehand.

A check simply means to

pass the action to the next 💳 player in the hand.

Again betting continues until the last

bet or raise has been called (which closes the action).

It also 💳 can happen that every

player simply chooses not to be and checks around the table, which also ends the

betting 💳 round.

Third Betting Round: The Turn

The fourth community card is called the

“Turn” and again a new round of betting starts.

Call 💳 – match the amount of the big

blind

The fourth community card, called the turn, is dealt face-up following all

betting 💳 action on the flop.

Once this has been completed, another round of betting

occurs, similar to that on the previous street 💳 of play.

Again players have the option

to check, bet, call, fold, or raise.

Final Betting Round: The River

The last community

card 💳 is called the “River”. This is followed by a last round of betting and finally the

“Showdown”

Fold – throw the 💳 hand away

The fifth community card, called the river, is

dealt face-up following all betting action on the turn.

Once this has 💳 been completed,

another round of betting occurs, similar to what took play on the previous street of

play.

Once more the 💳 remaining players have the option to options to check, bet, call,

fold, or raise.

After all betting action has been completed, 💳 the remaining players in

the hand with hole cards now expose their holdings to determine a winner. This is

called 💳 the showdown.

The Showdown

The player with the best combination of five cards

wins

Players construct their hands by choosing the five best 💳 cards from the seven

available

The remaining players show their hole cards, and with the assistance of the

dealer, a winning 💳 hand is determined.

The player with the best combination of five

cards wins the pot according to the official poker hand 💳 rankings.
