A Detailed Outline Of All The Texas Hold'Em Rules
There are a many different variants of poker. The most common variant is Texas Hold'Em. On the surface Texas Hold'Em looks like a very simple game but there are many rules to it. Read on to learn more.
The game begins when the two players to the dealer ante left. These players are called blinds because they are forced to blindly put money in the pot before they see the cards.
Normally, the player just to the left to the dealer - called the big blind - antes an amount equal to the minimum bet. The player to his left - the small blind - antes half of that.
In a land-based casino, all bets are placed before the player and not in the middle of the table. This is done to better track the amount each player bets.
After the initial antes, the dealer deals two cards face down to each player. For your information, the other cards that are dealt later in the game are community cards that are shared by all players.
After each player receives the two cards that are exclusively his, the first betting round begins. This starts with the player left from the small blind and goes around the table clockwise.
During the betting round, each player can match the bet of the big blind, call, or call a raise if the bet has been raised, or they can raise no matter who has bet what.
If during the whole betting round there has been no increase the big blind can do nothing. If there was an increase, the big blind can call him out, or fold. Similarly, the small blind can choose to call or fold, or if there has been a raise, the small blind can call that raise or re-raise.
Before the dealer deals the community cards they "burn" a card (she drops it down on the table).Now the players are immersed in the next three cards called the "Flop". Now a second betting round follows, starting with the big blind and going clockwise.
Each player may check if there were no bets against him. Or, if someone made a bet before, the player can choose to fold, call the bet or raise.
After this, the dealer burns another card, this one being called the "Turn". This card is added to the flop on the table. Betting occurs as in the previous round, but in some games, the minimum bet doubles on this round. This prevents players playing cheaply and also makes the game a lot more interesting, in my opinion.
Finally, after burning another card, the fifth card - the "River" - is then included in the community cards. The last betting round takes place. If more than one player remains, there is a showdown with each player.
The best five-card hand each player can make from his two cards and the five board cards depicts who will win. These are the Texas Hold'Em Rules.
