Texas Holdem is a variation of the classic poker game. It is the most popular, and widely played poker variant across the Caribbean where it is known as āHoldemā. Players aim to build the best 5-card hand possible from a combination of the 2 hole cards dealt to them at the start, and the 5 communal cards dealt on the board - these are the flop, turn and river.
Texas Hold āem is the version most played in mainland USA, where it originated, and made popular by the āholdem boomā in the 2000's.
The rules of the game are relatively simple and easy to pick up which makes it popular with new players. Remaining players must use their two hole cards and 3 of the 5 community cards to make their final decision on what to do for each round.
