How to Play Texas Hold em
- A brief guide
There can be up to 10 players at the Party
Poker Texas Hold em table.
There is a round button
in front of a player at the poker table
called the dealer button. The dealer button
determines the order of betting and moves
clockwise player after player after each
hand. Each hand begins with posting blinds.
It means that the first two players to the
immediate left of the dealer button place
their bets before their cards are dealt. The
first player posts the small blind equal to
half the minimum bet. The second one posts
the big blind equal to the amount of the
minimum bet.
As soon as the blinds
have been posted each player is dealt two
cards face down ( the pocket cards).
Then the first betting
round begins. The first player to place a
bet is the one to the immediate left of the
big blind, then the turn moves clockwise
around the table.
There are four betting
rounds in each hand. Bets and raises in the
first two rounds are limited to the minimum
bet and in the last two rounds equal the
maximum bet. The total amount of money
wagered in each betting round must not
exceed the initial bet in a round four
times, i.e. 1 bet and 3 raises.
After the first betting
round three other cards are dealt face up
(the flop). The dealer places the cards in
the middle of the table.
Then the turn of the
second betting round comes. Betting starts
with the player to the immediate left of the
dealer button. This order of betting remains
the same in all subsequent rounds of Texas
Holdem Poker.
After the second betting
round the dealer turns over one more card
(the turn) and places it beside the flop.
The third round of
betting takes place.
Finally, the dealer turns over a fifth card
(the river) and the final betting round
takes place.
As soon as the betting is over showdown
comes. At the showdown the player with the
best combination of cards (two pocket cards
and three community cards, one pocket card
and four community cards or five community
cards) wins the pot. The Party Poker Texas
Hold em winning
hand is the one that has the highest poker
Hand Rank
