About Texas Hold'em Up

Texas hold 'em (also known as hold'em or holdem) is a variation of the standard card game of poker. The game consists of two cards being dealt face down to each player and then five community cards being placed by the dealer—a series of three ("the flop") then two additional single cards ("the turn" and "the river"), with players having the option to check, bet or fold after each deal, i.e. betting may occur prior to the flop, "on the flop," "on the turn," and "on the river."

The basic rules of Texas Hold’em;

A standard hand in Texas Hold’em functions like this:
The dealer shuffles the deck.
The two players to the left of the dealer (or the player with the dealer button if there is a permanent professional dealer at the table) pay the blinds, one small and one big.
Starting at the player on his left the dealer deals every player two cards face down.
Starting on the player to the left of the big blind, the players begin the first betting round.
The first player has the option to call, raise or fold.
Once the betting round is over, the dealer deals one card face down (the burn card), and three face up (the flop).
The second betting round starts at the player to the left of the dealer.
Once the betting round completes, the dealer deals one card face down, and one card face up (the turn).
The third betting round functions the same as the second betting round.
Once the betting round completes, the dealer deals one final card face down, and the final card face up (the river)
The final betting round functions the same as the previous two betting rounds.
All players still in the hand enter the showdown, where the player holding the best hand at this point wins the pot.
The dealer passes the deck (or the dealer button) to the player on his left, and the next hand begins.

Texas Hold'em Objective

In Texas hold 'em, like all variants of poker, individuals compete for an amount of money contributed by the players themselves (called the pot). Because the cards are dealt randomly and outside the control of the players, each player attempts to control the amount of money in the pot based on the hand the player holds.[1]
The game is divided into a series of hands or deals; at the conclusion of each hand, the pot is typically awarded to one player (an exception in which the pot is divided between more than one is discussed below). A hand may end at the showdown, in which case the remaining players compare their hands and the highest hand is awarded the pot; that highest hand is usually held by only one player, but can be held by more in the case of a tie.
