Texas Hold’em Poker is one of the most popular variations of the classic card game poker. The game is played with a standard deck of 52 playing cards. The goal of the game is to win as much money as possible, or win the most hands.
In Texas Hold’em, each player is dealt two cards, known as hole cards. Five more cards are dealt face-up on the board in three stages: 3 cards (the ‘flop’), one card (the ‘turn’), and the fifth card (the ‘river’). Players can use the cards in their hand and the five cards on the board to create the best hand of five cards.
The player with the best hand ‘wins the pot’. There are several rounds of betting, and players can ‘raise’ or ‘call’ other players during each round.
