Texas Holdem/Texas Hold'em

Texas Holdem, or Texas Hold'em , is regarded as the world's most popular poker game.

Each player is dealt with two down cards that are theirs alone. Then the dealer places five community cards face-up that the players share to combine with their two cards and make the best possible five-card hand.

Play begins by dealing two cards face down to each player. These are called hole cards or pocket cards.
Then the first round of betting follows.
Play proceeds clockwise from the blinds where players are free to either fold, call the blind bet or raise.
The blinds are usually live, meaning the players may raise themselves when the action gets back around them.
Next, three cards are dealt face up in the middle of the table; this is known as the flop.
A new round of betting begins starting on the first blind, immediately to the dealer's left.
Another card is dealt face up, the turn, then another round of betting follows, again beginning to the dealer's left.
Then the final card is dealt, the river, and the final round of betting.

Players remaining in the hand create the best five-card hand using any combination of the hole cards and community cards. The highest hand wins the pot.
