In hold’em, the first step is to get the card game started, and for this the competitors put out a particular sum of money. ‘Posting the blinds’ is the commonly used expression for this play. In the next step, the croupier shuffles the deck of cards and deals out 2 cards face down to all players. A regular deck of 52 playing cards is used. After the deal, there is the first round of betting. This round is often referred to as a "pre-flop".

After the first wagering round, the top card of the deck is thrown away. This thrown away card is referred to as the "burn card", and this is performed to make sure that there is absolutely no corruption. The next three cards are then dealt face up on the poker table. These cards are referred to as ‘the flop’. Now follows a 2nd sequence of betting, after which the croupier tosses out an additional card and turns over one more card onto the table. Following this, players can use the 6th card to create a 5card poker hand.

A further sequence of wagering follows, and in many types of poker, here is where the wager amount doubles. There is another round of throwing away a card, and a closing deal of a card face-up on the table. This is referred to as the "river". Gamblers can now make use of any of the five cards on the table, and/or the two cards that they are holding, to form a 5card poker hand.

To finish it up there’s an additional sequence of wagering. Then, all the remaining players start to show their hands. This is called the "showdown". Beyond a doubt, the bettor who has the highest hand is the winner. When competitors have equal hands a splitting of the pot is considered.

Texas Holdem is a simple game to pickup, but to achieve prowess one needs a tonne of studying.
