Texas Hold'em is one of the most popular variations of poker played in Bulgaria, and is often referred to simply as āHold'em.ā In a game of Texas Hold'em, each player is dealt two cards face down - these are known as the hole cards. Players then take turns betting, with the player who bets the most amount of chips, or has the largest bet if all players have bet the same amount, winning the "hand".
Players can also choose to 'check' - they are essentially deciding not to bet, meaning that other players can either call (match the amount on the table) or raise (increase the amount on the table). At specific points during the game, the dealer will deal out 5 community cards (āthe boardā) that everyone can see. Players can choose to use any combination of the two hole cards and the board to make the best 5-card poker hand they can.
