Texas Hold’em

The Pack

The standard 52 card pack is used.

Poker Hands

Five of a Kind - This is the highest possible hand and can occur only where at least one card is wild, such as a joker. Examples of five of a kind would be four 10s and a wild card or two queens and three wild  cards.

Straight Flush - This is the highest possible hand when only the  standard pack is used, and there are no wild cards. A straight flush  consists of five cards of the same suit in sequence, such as 10, 9, 8,  7, 6 of hearts.

Four of a Kind - This is the next highest hand. An example is four aces or four 3s.

Full House - This colorful hand is made up of three cards of one rank and two cards of another rank, such as three 8s and two 4s.

Flush - Five cards all of the same suit, but not all in sequence, is a flush. An example is Q, 10, 7, 6, and 2 of clubs.

Straight - Five cards in sequence, but not all of the same suit is a straight. An example is 9♥, 8♣, 7♠, 6♦, 5♥

Three of a Kind - This combination contains three cards of the same  rank, and the other two cards each of a different rank, such as three  jacks, a seven, and a four.

Two Pairs - This hand contains a pair of one rank and another pair of a different rank, plus any fifth card of a different rank, such as Q,  Q, 7, 7, 4.

One Pair - This frequent combination contains just one pair with the  other three cards being of different rank. An example is 10, 10, K, 4,  3.

No Pair - This very common hand contains "nothing." None of the five  cards pair up, nor are all five cards of the same suit or consecutive in rank. When more than one player has no pair, the hands are rated by the highest card each hand contains, so that an ace-high hand beats a  king-high hand, and so on.

Object of the Game

Before and after each card(s) is revealed, players take turns to bet. To stay in the hand and see the next card, all players must have put  the same amount of chips in the pot as each other.

The best poker hand wins the pot.

The Deal

Every player is dealt two cards, for their eyes only.

The dealer spreads five cards - three at once, then another, then  another - which can be used by all players to make their best possible  five-card hand.

The Play

In Hold'em, each player is dealt two private cards (known as ‘hole  cards’) that belong to them alone. Five community cards are dealt  face-up, to form the ‘board’. All players in the game use these shared  community cards in conjunction with their own hole cards to each make  their best possible five-card poker hand. In Hold'em, a player may use  any combination of the seven cards available to make the best possible  five-card poker hand, using zero, one or two of their private hole  cards.

The Blinds

In Hold'em, a marker called ’the button’ or ’the dealer button‘ indicates which player is the dealer for the current game. Before the  game begins, the player immediately clockwise from the button posts the  "small blind", the first forced bet. The player immediately clockwise  from the small blind posts the "big blind", which is typically twice the size of the small blind, but the blinds can vary depending on the  stakes and betting structure being played.

In Limit games, the big blind is the same as the small bet, and the  small blind is typically half the size of the big blind but may be  larger depending on the stakes. For example, in a $2/$4 Limit game the  small blind is $1 and the big blind is $2. In a $15/$30 Limit game, the  small blind is $10 and the big blind is $15.

In Pot Limit and No Limit games, the games are referred to by the  size of their blinds (for example, a $1/$2 Hold’em game has a small  blind of $1 and a big blind of $2).

Depending on the exact structure of the game, each player may also be required to post an ‘ante’ (another type of forced bet, usually smaller than either blind, posted by all players at the table) into the pot.

Now, each player receives his or her two hole cards. Betting action  proceeds clockwise around the table, starting with the player ’under the gun’ (immediately clockwise from the big blind).

Player Betting Options

In Hold'em, as with other forms of poker, the available actions are  ‘fold’, ’check’, ’bet’, ’call’ or ’raise’. Exactly which options are  available depends on the action taken by the previous players. If nobody has yet made a bet, then a player may either check (decline to bet, but keep their cards) or bet. If a player has bet, then subsequent players  can fold, call or raise. To call is to match the amount the previous  player has bet. To raise is to not only match the previous bet, but to  also increase it.

Pre-Flop

After seeing his or her hole cards, each player now has the option to play his or her hand by calling or raising the big blind. The action  begins to the left of the big blind, which is considered a ‘live’ bet on this round. That player has the option to fold, call or raise. For  example, if the big blind was $2, it would cost $2 to call, or at least  $4 to raise. Action then proceeds clockwise around the table.

Betting continues on each betting round until all active players (who have not folded) have placed equal bets in the pot.

The Flop

Now, three cards are dealt face-up on the board. This is known as ’the flop‘ In Hold'em, the three cards on the flop are community cards, available to all players still in the hand. Betting on the flop begins  with the active player immediately clockwise from the button. The  betting options are similar to pre-flop, however if nobody has  previously bet, players may opt to check, passing the action to the next active player clockwise.

The Turn

When the betting action is completed for the flop round, the ’turn‘ is dealt face-up on the board. The turn is the fourth community card in  Hold'em (and is sometimes also called ‘Fourth Street’). Another round of betting ensues, beginning with the active player immediately clockwise  from the button.

The River

When betting action is completed for the turn round, the ’river‘ or ’Fifth Street‘ is dealt face-up on the board. The river is the fifth and final community card in a Hold'em game. Betting again begins with the  active player immediately clockwise from the button, and the same  betting rules apply as they do for the flop and turn, as explained  above.

The Showdown

If there is more than one remaining player when the final betting  round is complete, the last person to bet or raise shows their cards,  unless there was no bet on the final round in which case the player  immediately clockwise from the button shows their cards first. The  player with the best five-card poker hand wins the pot. In the event of  identical hands, the pot will be equally divided between the players  with the best hands. Hold'em rules state that all suits are equal.

After the pot is awarded, a new hand of Hold'em is ready to be  played. The button now moves clockwise to the next player, blinds and  antes are once again posted, and new hands are dealt to each player.
