Texas Hold'Em Is a favorite game of professional poker players. It's an aggressive, vibrant, exciting and unpredictable game in which money changes hands like no other form of poker. Texas Hold'em is a game played at the World Series of Poker (WSOP) to determine who takes home a massive multi-million dollar (growing every year) and a 14K gold champion bracelet.
So, Texas Hold'em rules.
In Texas Hold'em, players form a five-card hand from seven available cards (see. seniority of combinations). However, in fact, only two cards are in the player's hand. The remaining 5 cards are revealed and dealt in the center of the table and are used jointly by all players at the table. This means that there are very few cards in the game, so Hold'em is usually played with nine or even a larger company.
The Seats
The dealer is marked with a disc called a loaf (button). Hands are defined by rotating from the button to the left. And players are identified by their seat #. Dealer - place # 1 (seat one), the player on the left is seat # 2 and so on, clockwise around the table to the player on the right of the dealer.
Casino Texas Hold'em has a fixed dealer and the button spins around the table to mark the position of the theoretical dealer. The position of the player seriously affects the player's ability in the game, so the position of the button is not just symbolic.
Texas Hold'em for beginners usually starts with $1-$2 or $2-$4, but a serious game can have stakes at $500-$1000 and even more. Hold'em uses two forced bets or blinds (the blinds) to have some money on the table at the very beginning of the game.
The Open
The first player to the left of the dealer - seat # 2 - is called the small blind (small blind) and must bet half the lower limit or $5 in a $10-$20 game. Seat # 3 is the big blind (big blind) and he must bet the full lower bet limit or $10 in a $10-$20 game.
The cards are dealt one at a time clockwise around the table starting from the player to the left of the big blind. Each player receives his first card, then the second, and so on.
Since the blinds have opened with forced bets, the player in seat # 4 is the first to bet. He makes a bet (Call) betting the same amount as the big blind ($10, lower limit) and can also raise (Raise) by placing an upper limit, $20 in a $10-$20 game. In this round, Check (Checking) not allowed. The blinds in Hold'em are free to choose, they can post (Call), raise the rate (Raise) or pass (Fold).
The Flop
When the first round is over, the dealer deals the first 3 community cards in the center of the table. This is called the flop. This round begins with the blinds or the first remaining player to the left of the dealer. Bets are placed at the lower limit ($10 in our example).
The Turn
The fourth community card is dealt to the table. Bets are made starting from the blinds as before. Now and until the end of the game, the bets and raises are at the highest level, or $20 in our example. this is the first expensive round.
River (The River)
The fifth and final community card is dealt. This is a very expensive round: stakes and raises are at the highest level ($20).
Final opening (The Showdown)
The top 5 cards win. Players form their final hands from any combination of cards on the table and their own cards, sometimes even ignoring their own cards and using only cards on the table.
In Texas Hold'em, any player has the right to see the cards in the hands of other players after they have been discarded. After a certain player has made a bet or raised the bet and the last bet is made, the player simply asks the dealer and the discarded cards of other players are turned over and shown to the players.
