Texas Holdem Rule

Each player gets two down cards followed by five community cards, which are dealt face-up in the center of the table. This is how the game round goes: First, the two players directly to the left of the dealer must post "blinds", that is to place a bet before getting cards. This is to ensure that every winning hand wins some money. Since the dealer button moves on every game round, everyone has to post blinds at some point in the game. The player to the immediate left of the dealer button posts the "small blind". The player to the left of the small blind posts the "big blind". After the blinds, first cards are dealt. Every player gets two cards face down. These are called pocket cards. The3 betting begins with the Hold'em player immediately to the left of the big blind and continuing in a clockwise direction around the table. Every player can fold, call or raise. The second round of betting follows. This is carried out exactly as the first betting round. After the second round of betting, a fourth "community" card is dealt face up in the middle of the table. This is called the "Turn card". It is followed by a third round of betting. This third round, again, is carried out just like the first and the second, with one exception: raising is possible only by the higher table stake. Finally, the fifth and final "community" card is dealt. It is called the "River card" and is followed by a fourth and final round of betting. This final betting round is carried out exactly as the third. The showdown is following - After the final betting round, the best five-card hand is determined. Both the pocket cards and the community cards can be used to make up a hand. The online Hold'em player with the best five-card poker hand wins the pot. Players can also split the pot if they have the same hand. In the rare case of the best hand consisting of community cards only, the pot is divided between all the players left in the pot at the showdown. If you see that you are losing, and do not want to show your cards, you can Muck, that is to give up your hand and lose the pot. Otherwise you can Show to compare your hand with others.
