Texas Holdem is one of the most popular poker variants around the world. It is well loved by poker players for its broad appeal to both novice and experienced players. To be able to fully enjoy the game of Texas Holdem, first one must understand how it operates, its core rules, how players can win and the different strategies involved.
The game begins with two hole cards which allow the players to build their 5-card entire hand. Three community cards are placed out in the middle of the table and are used by each player to create the highest ranking five card combination. Betting will start after the hole cards have been dealt. Players can either invest money by calling a bet, raise or fold when their respective turn arrives.
The game progresses clockwise with each player taking a turn to act. When the last card has been placed, players must then show their cards and the highest poker hand combination wins the pot.
