NEW TO TEXAS HOLD'EM?
It's easy for a newbie to Texas Hold'em Poker to feel intimidated by the stakes as well as the rules and strategies. You will need to know how to play Hold’em, including the poker rules and rankings.
This includes understanding the differences between tournaments and cash games. Both require different strategies to be successful. Texas Hold'em Poker may be a simple game, but mastering it takes time and commitment.
TEXAS HOLD'EM POSER
Texas Hold'em Poker's object is very simple. To beat the other players, and win the money sitting at the centre of the table, known as the "pot", is the goal. The pot contains all of each player's bets for a given hand, as well as the blinds. The players place bets when the think they have either the best or most likely to improve their hand.
RULES of Texas HOLD'EM Poker
Before you get the urge to play Hold'em poker, you should first understand the rules. Texas Hold'em Poker allows each player to receive two private cards. These cards are known as "hole" or "private cards. After the cards have been dealt to players, it is time for a round betting. The remaining three community cards are then placed in the middle of each table. Next, another round is held. The next step is to turn the two remaining community cards one at a.m., then another round of betting.
Texas Hold'em Poker gives you the option to combine your three community cards with two of your personal cards in order to form the best possible five-card poker hands. Even if you don't want to use all your community cards, the other players have the option of doing the same. The result is a scratch. You can also use the dealer button. While Hold'em typically follows a two blind structure, it is possible to play with multiple blinds.
There are four major Texas Hold'em Poker varieties. The betting limits of each variation differ from one another.
No Limit Texas Hold'em-- Players can wager as much as they like, and can also go all-in at will.
Limit Texas Hold'em -- Each round of betting must have a limit.
Texas Hold'em with Pot Limit - Players can wager as much as they want, up to the maximum pot size
Mixed Texas Hold'em -- With each round of wagering, the game switched between Limit Hold'em or No limit Hold'em.
THE DEALER BUTTON-WHAT IS IT?
The dealer button is either a circular disc with the words "Dealer," or an inscription that begins with a "D". It is placed before a player to indicate that he or her is the dealer for a hand. Each player can be the dealer at any time by moving the button clockwise around their table. This position is known as the "button" and allows the player, after having viewed all of the betting decisions, to place their bets.
TEXAS HOLD'EM POKEER BLINDS
Hold'em allows the player closest to the dealer button to make a forced betting bet, called the "smallblind." However, the player next to the smallblind must post the big blind, which is twice the amount of that of the smallblind. The blinds may change depending on the betting structure or the stakes.
Limit games typically have the small blind be half of the large blind. However, some games may require the blind to be larger due to the higher stakes. The big bet is, however, always the same size. In a $1/$2 Limit, the small bet is $.50, and the big one is $1.
No Limit Hold'em and Pot Limit Hold'em poker are called by the size their blinds. For example, the $2/$4 Limit Hold'em game will have a $2 large blind and a 4 big blind.
Some poker rules and game systems require players to post an Ante. This is usually smaller than a small blind. Players must then add the pot to their pots.
After the big and small blinds are posted, all players at the table get their hole cards. Bets continue around the table clockwise, starting with the player directly to the left.
TEXAS HOLD'EM POSITIONS FOR POKER BETS
Texas Hold'em Poker has similar rules to other poker types. Players can raise, call or check and bet, fold or raise. The actions of other players determine which of these actions are available. If a player does not have the ability to place a wager, their only choices are to make a check or bet. If a player refuses to make a bet, they can keep their cards and continue to play in the hand. A player who has already bet can ask, raise or fold depending upon their poker strategy. A call refers to when a player matches a previous bet. A raise means that it increases.
BETTING PREFLOP
Each player can fold, raise or call the big blind after they have seen their hole cards. The player who is left of the bigblint now starts the action by placing a live bet and either calling, raising, or folding. If the game is a $2/$4 No Limit Texas Hold'em Poker game, there would be a $4 call fee and a minimum $8 raise. The action is rearranged clockwise to continue the game until everyone has placed their pre-flop bets.
Be aware that betting structures will vary depending on which Hold'em poker game is being played. Below we will talk about the betting strategies for Limit Texas Hold'em, No Limit Texas Hold'em, or Pot Limit Texas Hold’em.
BETTING ON THE FLOP
Once pre-flop betting ends, three cards are dealt. One after the other is face up at the center of the table. These three cards are also known as "theflop" and are available to all players for use. The betting round for the flop begins when the button presses the button's first active player. Similar to pre-flop betting, players can either call or raise their bets. Players can also check and pass the action if another player has not bet.
BETTING ON THE TURN
When everyone has stopped betting the flops, the fourth community cards known as "the turning" or "fourth streets" are dealt. The next round of betting starts with the player closest to the button.
BETTING THE RIVER
After the turn-round betting ends, the last card of the community known as the "river" or the "fifth street", is dealt. The betting rules remain the same and begins again with the active player to the right of the button.
THE SHOWDOWN
If more than one player is remaining after the last round, the last person who has placed their chips in central position at the table will be the first to reveal their cards. If no one wagers during the final round and there are more than one player remaining, the first person to reveal their cards is the immediate player to the right of the button.
The pot is awarded to the player with the highest five-card total. If two players are holding the same hand, which is very rare, the pot will be divided equally so long as both players have the highest hand. Hold'em has a different system than other poker games in which all suits are equal weighted.
Once the winner player or players have collected their chips, you can play the next Hold'em game. Moving clockwise, the button will move to the player immediately to their left. The blinds will be posted again and new hole cards will be dealt.
BETTING OPTIONS – DIFFERENT TEXAS HOLD’EM Poker GAMES
The rules of Hold'em poker are almost the same for all four variations. There are exceptions to this rule:
NO LIMIT HOLD'EM
No Limit Texas Hold'em's minimum bet is equal to the size of the big-blind. Players can wager as much as they want including all their chips if necessary.
The minimum raise must be at most the same amount as the previous raise. For example: If the player to left of the button wagers $4, the next player must raise at least $4 for an total of $8.
There is no limit to how high players can raise their stacks. They can also go all-in at will. You can raise as many times as you like with No Limit Hold'em.
LIMIT HOLD'EM
Limit Hold'em betting is done in predetermined, pre-set amounts. On the flop and the preflop, each raise and bet are the same as those in the big blind. However, on the turn as well as the river, the amount of raises and bets is double.
Each player can only make four bets in each round of No Limit Hold'em. This means that you can place, raise, increase, reraise, then raise again.
POT LIMIT HOLD'EM
Pot Limit Texas Hold'em's minimal bet is now the same size as that of the big blind. The name of the game suggests that players can place bets on any size pot.
Raises, just like No Limit Hold'em raises, must at least be the same amount as the previous raise. For example: If the first player to leave the button wagers $4, the next player must make a minimum raise in order to place an $8 total bet.
The maximum raise, in other words, is the total size of the pot including all bets on each table, as well the amount that must to be called by active players prior to raising.
For example: If the pot has $50 and there's not been any betting action in the current round, the maximum wager is $50. The next player can fold, call $50, or raise $50 to $200 more. The player would first call $50 to bring the pot to 150. The player may then raise $150 for a total wager of $200.
Similar to No Limit Hold'em it is possible to raise as many times as you like.
MIXED HOLD'EM
Mixed Texas Hold'em mixes Limit and No Limit Hold'em. With every round, the game switches from one to the other. The blinds will increase whenever the game changes from Limit to No Limit to ensure that the average pot size remains consistent. The rules of the game that is being played determine the betting rules.
TEXAS HOLD’EM POOKER HAND RANKINGS

Three-ofakind - A three of a kind is any three cards having the same value or rank as two random unrelated ones.
Two Pair - Two pairs means two cards of the same rank plus one unrelated card. If two players have two pairs, the highest winning pair is chosen. If both players have the highest pair, the winner is the next highest.
Pair - Two cards of the same rank or value plus three unrelated cards are a pair. A pair is a combination of two cards that are similar in value or rank. If they have a pair, the highest pair wins.
High Card: If you cannot make any of the hands above, then your highest hand card is used. It's very rare to win Texas Hold'em Poker without a high deck.
COMMUNITY PARDS
A poker hand is made up of five cards. There are many poker games that allow players to receive more cards than five. Hold'em allows players to receive two private hole cards.
