How To Play Hold’em

One of the most popular poker games in the world is Texas Hold’em. It’s easy to play, and there’s never a hard time finding players at online poker rooms.

• Limit - This is where you have a set betting limit for each round. So if a table has a limit of $.50/$1.00 then the max bet for the first round is $.50 and every round after that will have a max bet of $1.00.
• Pot Limit - You can bet as much as the total pot.
• No Limit - Here you can bet as much as you want.

Here’s how the Texas Hold’em is played:

• 2 Players to the left of the dealer bet a ‘Small Blind’ and ‘Big Blind’. A blind is where you bet before seeing your hand. So on a $.50/$1.00 game it would be $.25 and $.50.
• After the blinds are in the dealer will deal 2 cards face down.
• Then there is a round of betting.
• After that betting round the dealer will lay the ‘flop’. This is where they lay 3 cards face up that all the players will share.
• Then there is a round of betting.
• Now a 4th card is placed face up in the middle.
• Then there is a round of betting.
• Then the last card is placed face up along side the other shared cards.
• Then there is the last round of betting.
