Texas Holdem is currently the most popular version of the card game Poker. Before getting started, let us learn to play the game and its various rules.

Texas Hold Em is called the "Cadillac of Poker." One of the reasons for its popularity is the easiness of Texas Hold Em. It hardly takes 20 minutes to learn the game.

Texas Hold Em - Things Needed to Play:

- 52-Card Deck

- Chips to use as currency

- 2 or more players

- A dealer for each game

Texas Hold Em - Learn How To Play:

Blind bets are placed by two players to the left of the dealer. The closer one places the smaller bet and the second one bets the 'Big Blind'.

Each player gets two cards, placed face down. They are known as hole or pocket cards.

The first move, called the action, is made by the player to the left of Big Blind. The players can either call, raise or fold the bet which proceeds clockwise.

Once all players have placed their bets, three cards are placed face up on the table. These three cards in Texas Holdem are referred to as the flop. All the players will use these three cards to make the best possible hand along with their own two cards.

Once the three flop cards have been dealt, the player to the dealer's left begins the next round, in which each player can check, raise or fold the bet.

A fourth common card called the turn card is dealt in the next round, and the next betting round continues.

Then the final street card called the river card is dealt for the final round of betting.

The rest of the players who have not folded show their two cards. The player with the best five card hand by adding his two cards with any three on the table wins the game.
