  1. In short

    Texas Hold'em is poker for two or four players. Everyone gets two face-down cards, and five community cards appear on the table. You win pots by having the best five-card hand or by making your opponents fold.

  2. The deal

    Everyone starts with 1000 chips and gets two face-down cards. Two compulsory bets, the small and the big blind, make up the starting pot. The dealer role and the blinds move around the table.

  3. Four stages

    First you bet knowing only your own two cards. Then three community cards appear on the table (the flop), followed by a fourth (the turn) and a fifth (the river). There is a betting round after each stage. The community cards are available to everyone who has not folded.

  4. Betting buttons

    Fold abandons this deal; chips already committed stay in the pot. Check costs nothing and is available when there is no bet to match. Call pays the difference to the current bet. Raise to sets your total contribution in this betting round, not just the added amount. You may commit your entire stack, called all-in. A normal raise must match at least the previous full increase; a smaller all-in does not always reopen raising rights.

  5. Hands from strongest

    A straight flush, which is five consecutive cards of one suit; four of a kind; a full house, which is three of a kind and a pair; a flush, which is five cards of one suit; a straight, which is five consecutive values; three of a kind; two pairs; one pair; high card. The best five-card hand is chosen from your two cards and the five community cards, so you may also use just one of your own or none. The ace can be low in A–2–3–4–5. Ties are decided by the values of the hand and the remaining cards, not by the suit, spades or hearts.

    A straight flush: five consecutive cards of one suit.
    A full house: three nines and a pair of kings.

  6. Pots and winning

    If everyone except one player folds, that player takes the pot without comparing cards. With an all-in, separate pots are created: a player can win only the part matching the bets they took part in. Equal best hands share that pot. A player with no chips is out. Blinds rise every three deals: 10/20, 25/50, 50/100, 100/200. The match ends when one player remains or at a limit of 15 or 30 deals, and then the chip count decides.

  7. When someone leaves

    There is no resigning. Leaving a game in progress, or running out of time, is a forfeit by that player and ends the game for the whole table. The others win.
