Texas Holdem is one of the most popular and widely-played poker variations in the world. It's a shared card game that pits players against each other in a battle for the highest-ranking five-card hand. Players attempt to form the best hand by combining their two hole cards with the five shared community cards. This exciting poker variation uses a typical 53-card deck, with each suit represented by thirteen ranks. That said, Texas Holdem is typically played with a 52-card deck, as play will sometimes involve jokers.
Texas Holdem is a game of skill as well as luck, offering players the opportunity to improve their game and hone their poker strategies. As a result, it's become a fixture of popular card rooms in the United Kingdom, as well as live and online tournaments.
