How to play Texas Holdem
Texas holdem can be simplified as Pre flop, flop, turn, river and showdown. Burn card is not used in the game to form a hand and it is dealt face down in the flop, turn and river rounds.In pre flop, forced little and big bets are obligatory to start the game, after which two face down hole cards are dealt clockwise for each player. After looking in to the cards, players choose to call the bet, fold, or raise the pot value. If any player raises the bet, it is compulsory that all other players call or fold the raised bet. Re-raising may also follow in a single round.
In flop, the dealer deals burns one card and then 3 face down cards. The little blind player is the first to act; he can check the game from betting if he has a bad hand. The flop is followed by turn in which one burn card and the fourth community card is dealt, players fold or bet in this round.
The river is followed by the burn of one card and a fifth community card followed by fold or bet in this round. After the series of round, if there is only one player without folding, he takes the pot; if there are multiple players there is a show down and the best 5 cards wins the pot.
