Holdem Poker
Commonly known as Texas Holdem (Hold'em / Hold-em / Holdum), Holdem poker is considered the most popular poker game in the world.

 

Variations Of Holdem (go back)
There are three variations of Texas Holdem:

1) No Limit Holdem - This variation of Texas Holdum allows any player to bet all of their chips at any time. The "Blinds" typically remain constant regardless of the number of players.

2) Limit Holdem - This second variation of Texas Hold 'em restricts players to a specific betting limit during each round of every game played. The "Blinds" typically vary depending on the number of players.

3) Pot Limit Holdem - This version allows the players to bet up to the amount of the pot at that moment. The "Blinds" typically vary depending on the number of players.

 

Object Of The Game
The five best cards out of seven cards available to each player wins the pot at the end of each round using typical poker combinations.

 

Who's The Dealer
The dealer of a round of Texas Holdem is denoted by a dealer "button."   Every new round of Texas Holdem has a new dealer and changes clockwise giving every player the opportunity of being the dealer unless you're in a casino.  Casinos have a non-playing dealer.

 

How To Play (go back)

Basic Rules Of Texas Holdum:

1) Two cards are dealt face down to each player.
2) The Blinds either take place before or after cards are initially dealt.
3) Dealer burns one card.
4) Three cards are dealt face up in the middle of the table for each player to use in their hand.
5) A second round of betting takes place.
6) Dealer burns another card.
7) A fourth card is dealt face up in the middle of the table.
8) A third round of betting takes place.
9) Dealer burns another card.
10) A fifth and final card is dealt face up in the middle of the table.
11) The final round of betting takes place.
12) Player with the best five card poker hand out of seven total cards wins the pot.


In-Depth Rules For Texas Holdum:

Texas Holdem has two variations of beginning the game.

Version 1) For every new round of Texas Holdem each player receives two "Hole" cards face down.  Then the "Small Blind" and the "Big Blind" bets are placed in the pot by the two players just left of the dealer.

Version 2) The "Small Blind" and the "Big Blind" bets are placed in the pot by the two players just left of the dealer before any cards are dealt and action begins. Casinos usually use this variation.

The rest of the rules below are consistent with both versions of beginning the game.

Then the dealer "burns" one card and three "community" cards are placed face up in the middle of the table for everyone to use for that round. The cards in the middle of the table at this point are known as the "Flop". (go back)

After the "flop," a second round of betting takes place beginning with the player to the dealer's left going clockwise.

Then one more card is "burned" by the dealer and one additional card is revealed and placed face up with the other "community" cards in the middle of the table. This event is known as the "Turn." Now there should be four cards face up in the middle of the table. (go back)

After the "Turn," a third round of betting takes place beginning with the player to the dealer's left going clockwise.

Then one more card is "burned" by the dealer and the fifth and last card is revealed and placed face up with the other "community" cards in the middle of the table. This event is known as the "River." Now there should be five cards face up in the middle of the table. (go back)

After the "River," a forth round of betting takes place beginning with the player to the dealer's left going clockwise.

If necessary, a showdown takes place to determine the winner. At the showdown, each player uses the best five-card hand he can create from his two down-cards and the five community "River" cards. (go back)

Your individual poker hand is determined by using the best of five cards in typical poker combinations made up of one or two of your two "Hole" cards and three or four of the five cards from the community "river" cards in the middle of the table.  Restated, you have access to seven cards to create the best hand possible--one or two of your "Hole" cards and three or four from the "river."

 

Winning
The best of five cards using typical poker combinations wins the pot. A player may also win the pot if no one calls a player who bets prior to the end of the hand. That is to say, if everyone else folds (quits) and you are the only one betting, you win the pot.

 

Small Blind Definition (go back)
The Small Blind takes place the first round of betting and is made only by the player just left of the dealer. The amount of the Small Blind is determined by the number of players and/or the variation of Holdem poker. The Small Blind is typically one half of the "Big Blind" and varies from one unit (in dollars, pounds, Lire, Yen...) to several units.

 

Big Blind Definition (go back)
The Big Blind is the other of two parts of the first round of betting and is made only by the player two seats left of the dealer. The amount of the Big Blind is determined by the number of players and/or the variation of Holdem poker. The amount of the "Big Blind" is typically twice the "Small Blind".

 

Holdem Tournaments
Tournaments of Texas Holdem usually have a "buy-in" which vary in amounts.
