GENERAL RULES FOR TEXAS HOLD'EM

The goal of Texas hold'em is to simply make the best 5 card poker hand possible using your "pocket cards" and the 5 face-up "communal cards". The game structure is as follows.

  • Each player is dealt two cards face-down called the "pocket cards" followed by the first round of betting. You may fold at anytime.
  • The Dealer turns over three community boardcards ("the flop") face-up followed by a second betting round.
  • Dealer turns over 1 more community boardcard ("the turn") followed by a third betting round.
  • Dealer turns over 1 final community boardcard ("the river") followed by a final betting round.
  • Showdown. At the showdown for Texas holdem, poker rules indicate that players may use either:
  • Both pocket cards & three boardcards
  • One pocket card & four boardcards
  • All five boardcards (playing the board)

It's that easy!
