Propelled into popular culture by film, the invention of online poker and televised tournaments, the game has swept across the globe, capturing the public’s imagination. Many beginner players start with Texas Holdem as it is one of the easiest forms of poker to pick up and learn. Don’t be deceived by the games simple appearance – players soon discover to fully master it takes a lot of time (and chips!).
In the game, each player receives 2 personal hole or pocket cards, and 5 community cards are dealt face up on the table. Players must make the best five-card hand using any combination of the seven cards. There are four betting rounds in the game, excluding the payment of the small and big blind, before the final winner showdown.
The Pre-Flop
To begin, all players are dealt 2 cards face down with the player on the small blind receiving the first card and the player with the dealer button getting the last card. Once every player has received their cards, the first round of betting begins with the player to the left of the dealer either choosing to “Call”, “Raise,” or “Fold” his hand.
The Flop
After the first round of betting is completed, the first 3 community cards are dealt to the middle of the table. This is commonly referred to as the “Flop.” All players can use these cards. A second round of betting follows, beginning with the first active player to the left of the dealer.
The Turn
Once all players have participated in the betting round after the flop, a fourth card is dealt face up in the middle of the table. This is called the “Turn” card. Again, beginning with the first active player to the left of the dealer, another round of betting occurs. In many games, this is when the bet size doubles.
The River
Finally, the dealer turns the last community card face up on the table. This fifth card is called the “river,” and the fourth and final round of betting takes place. Players can utilize any of the 5 cards on the table, or the two cards in their pocket, to form their best five card hand.
The Showdown
After the final round of betting, all remaining players in the game must reveal their hands. Beginning with the player to the left of the last player to call, each player reveals their best five-card hand. The player with the highest hand wins the pot! There are rare instances where the five community cards on board form the best hand. If this happens the remaining active players split the pot evenly.
Betting Limits
The terms fixed limit, no limit and pot limit refer to the amounts that can be bet during each round. In a fixed limit game, the first two betting rounds are “fixed” at amounts equal to the big blind and the last two rounds at double the amount of the big blind. For example, a $1.00/$2.00 table has a small blind of $0.50 and a large blind of $1.00, betting in the first 2 rounds is then set at $1.00 per bet and the last 2 rounds at $2.00 per bet. In no limit poker, the bet on each round has, as the name states, no limit. In a pot limit game, the bet amount can be any figure up to the total amount that is already in the pot.
