Texas Hold'em is the most popular poker game in the world. Whether you play at an online pokerroom or at a land based casino the rules of Texas Hold'em are the same.
There are 3 types of "betting" rules for Texas Hold'em. They are:
- Limit – Betting is a limited for each game played and each round based on the blind sizes. For example a $.50/$1.00 has a $.50 Blind, the first round of betting and raises is $.50 and the later rounds are upped to $1.00 bets.
- Pot Limit – Players can bet as much as the total pot at the time of their bet.
- No Limit – Players may bet any chips that they have on the table at the time of the bet.
Playing Texas Hold'em:
- The 2 players left of the Button (the players whose deal it is) place a 'Small Blind' and 'Big Blind' (blind, as in betting before seeing the hand), bet $.50/$1.00 game would be $.25 and $.50 respectively.
- Once the Blinds have been paid, 2 cards are dealt face down to every player.
- A round of betting follows.
- 3 shared cards are "flopped" (dealt face up in the middle of the table) and these cards are shared by all players'.
- Another round of betting follows.
- A 4th card, known as "The Turn" or "The Street' is placed face up in the middle.
- Another round of betting follows.
- The last card, or 'The River' card is placed face up in the middle of the table.
- There is the final round of betting.
Note: In Texas Hold'em - betting, just like dealing, always proceeds in a clockwise rotation.
