How to Play Texas Hold’em Poker

Your best Texas Holdem hands will be made by using your hole cards and the five cards in the middle to make the best possible five card poker hand. Not sure what the best hands are? You can visit the poker hands page here for more information! So, for example, if you have 9-9 and the shared cards are 9-9-A-5-2 you have four-of-a-kind.

  • Here is a chart showing the top 24 hands you can have pre-flop in a Hold’em game: Poker Hand Rankings Poker games generally share the same hand rankings – i.e. A Royal Flush is the best possible showdown hand in Omaha, Stud, and Texas Hold’em.
  • Texas Hold'em Poker Rules Texas Holdem is played on a single table with two to 10 players. Each player is dealt two private cards (known as 'hole cards') that belong to them alone. Five community cards are dealt face-up, to form the 'board'.
  • Texas Hold'em uses a standard deck of 52 playing cards.Each player is dealt two cards, one at a time, face down. These are known as 'hole cards,' 'down cards,' or 'pocket cards'.
  • Texas Holdem poker is almost always played as a No-Limit format, meaning that you can bet as much as you want even preflop since there are no rules to limit the sizing of your bets. For example, if you are playing in a game with $1/$2 blinds, then you have an option to call $2 or raise.

Betting

In Ultimate Texas Hold’em, players have several betting options. To start the hand, players must make equal bets into the ante and blind circles. Players may also make the optional Trips bonus bet.

  • Ante and blind circles: Prior to the hand, each player must make equal bets into each of these circles. The amount of these bets is often determined by the table’s betting minimums.
  • Trips bonus: An optional bet, the trips bonus pays odds if your final five-card hand equals three-of-a-kind or better. Payouts for Trips bets are based on the odds of obtaining a hand.
  • Raise: Players may raise prior to the flop or at the conclusion of each round of action. Players can make only one raise per hand. The earlier a raise is made, the higher the value of the bet. For example, players who raise prior to the “flop”, may raise 3- or 4-times their original ante bet. The raise limit decreases following the “turn”, and again after the “river.”

Please refer to the table layout for payout details.

Gameplay

Ultimate Texas Hold’em is played with a standard deck of 52 cards. To begin the hand, the dealer places five cards, known as the community cards, face down on the table. Each player and the dealer are dealt two cards. Players look at their cards and make a decision to check or raise the ante bet.

The dealer turns over the community cards in two rounds. In the first round of play, known as the flop, the dealer reveals the first three community cards. The remaining two community cards are revealed simultaneously to complete the five-card community cards.
After each round, players have the chance to review the strength of their hand and make a raise if desired. At the conclusion of the second round, players must either match their original ante bet or fold.

Following the completion of all rounds and player bets, the dealer reveals his or her cards. In order to qualify, the dealer must hold at least a matched pair. If the dealer does not qualify, ante bets are returned to players. The dealer then compares their hand against those of the remaining players. The best poker hand wins.

For those unfamiliar with poker rules and the game of Poker, along with others who might want a refresher, this is the most basic of basic poker. The various games are based on this.

Poker is a game of five card hands dealt from a 52 card deck of standard playing cards. All poker hands consist of exactly five cards. Most games, like seven card stud for example, give the players more than five cards to select from, but the final winning result goes to the one with the best five card poker hand. In the popular stud poker games, the players are all dealt one card at a time or in small groups and they bet money each time they get more cards. They bet that they will end up with the best hand. The players that don't want to bet on their hands any longer can 'fold' their hands, get out of the contest and forfeit all the bets they have made to that point. At the end, the player with the best poker hand wins all the bets. In draw poker the players bet, then replace the cards they don't like with new ones from the dealer and then bet again.

In 1978, Doyle Brunson, two time winner of the 'World Championship of Poker' at Binions Horseshoe in Las Vegas, published probably the best ever written book on casino level poker games. This 600 page, 3 lb. volume is more like an encyclopedia reference than a typical poker book. The work is packed with sound professional advice with volumes of stats for advanced players and was strangely named 'How I Made Over $1,000,000 Playing Poker'. In reprint, it is now named 'Super System'.
