Texas Holdem Poker is one of the most popular Poker games online. It is played with a standard deck of 52 cards. The cards consist of 4 suits (clubs, diamonds, hearts, spades) of 13 cards ranked 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,J,Q,K,A. Texas Holdem (or hold'em) Poker game starts with each player getting dealt 2 "hole" cards. To make a winning Poker hand, the players combine these 2 cards with 5 cards that will be dealt to the center of the table. These 5 cards are known as community cards. The means that everyone at the table will be using any combination of these 5 community cards along with the 2 "pocket" or "hole" cards to make the best poker hand. What makes Texas Holdem interesting is that the 5 cards to the center are not dealt all at once. First comes what is known as the "flop", where 3 cards are dealt into the center of the table. A round of betting follows after which comes the next card to the center which is called the "turn". More betting and finally the "river" is the last community card. The player with the highest ranked 5 card Poker hand using any combination of the 2 cards they own and the 5 community cards on the table wins the pot. Although most hands are determined by the "flop", the 2 cards that follow can somtimes turn a weak hand into a monster,making for some exciting betting and final result.
