Basics of Texas Holdem

This is one of the most popular games to play online and in casinos. You may think that this game is only for experts as seen on TV, but this game is actually a lot easier that it looks. It really is an easy and a complex game, usually played with 9 or 10 people, and is much more exciting and exciting than a lot of the other games. This just happens to be one of the fastest growing poker style games in the world.

To play, you are dealt two cards face down, and then betting happens in one direction of the table. The first round, players may either call or raise the blind bet, or they will have to fold their hand. Most of the casinos allow a bet with 3 or 4 raises per round. There are exceptions when only 2 players are playing for the money; they can have an unlimited amount of investments.

After the first round of the betting is complete, 3 cards are placed face-up on the table, also known as the flop. Then there is another round of betting. At this stage of betting, a player may choose to check no, if no one has bet yet. Should no bet be placed, players will fold, call, raise, or re-raise.

A next card, called the turn, is placed on the table face-up by the other exposed cards. The last round of betting takes place. Then the last card, called the river, is placed face-up on the table. From here it is your basic 5-card poker combination, including the player's two cards to win.

That is all there is to this game. Even though it is so simple, there is still an addictive quality to it that has made it become so popular.
