Texas Holdem is a popular form of poker that originated in the United States in the early 1900s and has since become widely popular around the world. Texas Holdem is a form of poker that combines strategy and luck in order to win. It is played with a standard 52-card deck and the aim of the game is to make the highest-ranking hand possible. Players are dealt two cards each, and the rest of the cards are dealt out face-down as community cards. Players are required to make the best five-card hand possible with these community cards and their two hole cards, and the pot is split among the winning players.
