Texas Holdem Poker has become the most popular poker game online. It has featured on numerous TV shows and is loved by celebrity Poker players including Kenny Dalgish, Helen Chamberlain and Steve Davis. It's also the main game at most online poker rooms.
With Texas Holdem players, usually a maximum of 10 per table, get 2 down cards and subsequently receive 5 community cards dealt face-up in the middle of the table. The first 3 cards are known as the flop, the fourth community card is known as the turn and the final card is called the river card. During the turning of the community cards players can opt to fold, bet, raise or check. Once betting is finished the players show their best five card hand made from the 2 hole cards and the 5 communal cards. The best hand wins the pot.
