About Texas Hold’Em Poker
In this super popular poker game there are four “rounds” of bets during which players can bet, bluff, or back out depending on the strength of their hands.
As each round passes, more community cards are dealt to give them a better idea of how strong their hand is and the probability of their opponents having better hands.
Community cards are the public cards set face up on the table. In total five community cards are dealt and players are required to use between three and five of those cards, alongside one, two or even none of their hole cards, to create the best five card poker hand. The best five cards from the five community cards and two hole cards are always the hand chosen for the player.
How to Play?

Two ways to win
Showdown
Betting or checking until all community cards are dealt, then comparing hands to determine the winner. This is done based on Texas Hold’Em hand rankings which are listed below.
Out-Betting Your Opponents
Out-Betting Your Opponents: If you place a bet or raise to an amount that makes all other players fold, you automatically win the hand no matter what cards you have.
