In hold’em, the first step is to get the card game started, and for this the players put out a specific sum of cash. ‘Posting the blinds’ is the frequently used phrase for this play. In the following step, the dealer shuffles the deck of cards and deals two cards face down to every player. A regular deck of fifty two cards is used. Then there is the first round of betting. This round is often known as a "pre-flop".
After the first betting sequence, the first card is thrown away. This tossed aside card is referred to as the "burn card", and this is done to guarantee that there is absolutely no cheating. The following three cards are then dealt face up on the poker table. These cards are referred to as ‘the flop’. Now follows a second round of wagering, after which the croupier burns a further card and flips 1 more card onto the poker table. Following this, participants can use the 6th card to create a 5card poker hand.
A further sequence of wagering happens, and in many styles of games, here is where the bet amount increases. There is an additional round of tossing aside a card, and a last deal of a card face-up on the table. This is called the "river". Bettors can now make use of any of the 5 cards on the board, and/or the 2 cards that they hold, to create a five-card poker hand.
To wrap it up there is a last sequence of wagering. After that, all the remaining players start to reveal their hands. This is known as the "showdown". Clearly, the player who shows the best hand is the winner. When competitors have equal hands a splitting of the winnings is considered.
Texas hold’em is a very easy game to understand, but to acquire ability one needs a fair amount of practice.
