| An Introduction to Texas Hold'em Poker |
 |
People who
have an interest for poker must have been familiar with the more
popular variant of this game, which is Texas Hold'em poker. Even
though other poker variants are equally challenging and
interesting to play, Texas Hold'em provides the greatest space
for strategy, since it is heavy on using mathematical
probability. Knowing the basics of Texas Hold'em is beneficial
for those people who want to engage in this kind of game.
Texas Hold'em poker is a sub-variant of community card
poker, in which players combine both their hands and face-up
shared cards ("community" cards) to form a poker hand. Texas
Hold'em has been popular for a long time now, proliferating in
TV through shows like the World Poker Championships and in the
internet through online gaming. Texas Hold'em poker still uses
the mechanisms common to other variants of poker, such as hand
rankings and betting procedure.
A game of Texas Hold'em
poker begins by collecting antes (forced initial bets) from all
players. If the game has no ante, then it begins by dealing two
face-down cards to each player. This is immediately followed by
a betting round. In games in which blinds are used, the betting
round starts with the player to the left of the big blind. A
blind is another form of forced bet. In games adopting blinds,
the big blind is equivalent to the minimum amount of bet, and is
located to the left of the small blind. The small blind is
equivalent to half the big blind, and is located to the left of
the dealer button. The dealer button then rotates clockwise
after each hand is dealt.
After the first betting round
in Texas Hold'em poker, three cards are placed face-up at the
center of the table. This is called the flop, and is shared by
all players, thus giving them five cards to form a hand (their
two face-down cards and the flop). Another round of betting is
then started. After the second round of betting, another face-up
card is placed at the center of the table. This is called the
turn, and is also shared by all players. If there is still more
than one player in hand (has not folded), then after the third
round of betting, another face-up card is placed at the center
of the table. This is called the river, and is the final card to
be dealt face-up. The last round of betting follows.
If
there is still more than one player in hand after the last round
of betting, then a showdown occurs. Most often, players win even
before the turn or river has been dealt, because of folding. |
