In Texas Holdem, the first step is to get the card game started, and for this the players put out a particular total of money. ‘Posting the blinds’ is the commonly used expression for this play. In the following step, the dealer shuffles the deck of cards and gives out 2 cards face down to all players. A normal deck of fifty two playing cards is used in the deal. Then there is the first round of wagering. This sequence is usually known as a "pre-flop".

After the first wagering round, the top card of the deck is tossed aside. This tossed aside card is known as the "burn card", and this is done to guarantee that there is no corruption. The following three cards are then revealed face up on the table. These cards are known as ‘the flop’. Now follows a second sequence of wagering, after that the dealer burns another card and deals one more card onto the poker table. Following this, participants can employ the sixth card to create a 5card poker hand.

Another sequence of wagering follows, and in a good many types of poker, here is where the bet size increases. There is another round of throwing away a card, and a final deal of a card face-up on the table. This is referred to as the "river". Players can now make use of any of the five cards on the poker table, and/or the two cards in their pocket, to form a 5card poker hand.

To finish it up there’s a further round of wagering. After that, all the players left begin to display their hands. This is known as the "showdown". Beyond a doubt, the bettor who holds the greatest hand is the winner. When gamblers have tied hands a splitting of the pot is used.

Holdem is a basic game to pick up, but to achieve knowledge it requires a large amount of studying.
