Hold'em
poker (also known as Texas
Hold'em) is the most popular
poker game in the world.
There are three types of Texas
Hold'em games:
Limit
Hold'em(which means
there is a specific betting
limit applied in each game
and on each round of betting
- it is what we play on
PartyPoker)
Pot
Limit Hold'em (meaning
you can bet what is in the
pot.
No
Limit Hold'em (meaning
you can bet all of your
chips at any time.
|
|
In
Hold'em, players get two down
cards and five community cards
(which are face-up in the
middle of the table). Your
hand is determined by using
the best five of those seven
cards (in any combination)
and the best hand wins
the pot. (The pot may also
be won by someone betting
and no one calling prior to
the completion of the
hand.)
To
better help you understand
the game, the definition of
the underlined words
on this page can be found
in Poker Lingo.
Basics:
There are four rounds of betting
in Hold'em. In Limit Hold'em,
one bet and three raises are
allowed for each betting round.
To continue to play, players
must act on each betting
round and call all action
to them (unless they are "all-in").
Betting always proceeds in
a clockwise rotation.
Here
is the procedure for Hold'em:
1)
Prior to dealing the cards,
two blinds (the Small Blind
and the Big Blind) are placed
in the pot by the two players
to the immediate left of the
dealer (indicated by the red
dealer "button").
The blinds are put in to start
the action.
2)
Everyone is dealt two down
cards ("hole cards").
The action begins with the
player to the left of the
Big Blind folding, calling,
or raising. Action continues
with all players making one
of these decisions. This is
the first betting round.
3)
Upon completion of the first
round of betting, the dealer
then turns over three cards
(community cards known as
"The Flop"). This
is the second betting round.
Beginning with this round
of betting (and throughout
the remainder of the hand),
the player to the left of
the button acts first. A player
may now check (not bet or
fold) or bet if there is no
betting in front of them.
If there is betting and/or
raising in front of them,
they may Call, Raise, or Fold.
4)Following
the completion of action on
the "flop", the
dealer turns over another
card (known as "The Turn"
or "Fourth Street").
This is the third round
of betting. (In Limit Hold'em,
the amount bet doubles on
"The Turn".)
The betting again starts with
the player closest to the
left of the button.
5)
Following the completion of
action on "the turn",
the dealer turns over the
last card (known as "The
River" card or "Fifth
Street"). This is the
final round of betting.
6)
Upon completion of the final
round of betting, the best
hand wins the pot.
Note: The blinds are determined
by the size of the game.
