In Texas Holdem, the first step is to get the game started, and for this the players put out a specific amount of money. 'Posting the blinds' is the frequently used saying for this play. In the following step, the croupier shuffles the cards and deals 2 cards face down to each player. A normal deck of fifty two cards is used. Then there is the initial sequence of wagering. This round is usually known as a "pre-flop".

Following the first betting sequence, the top card of the deck is thrown away. This thrown away card is called the "burn card", and this is performed to ensure there is definitely no cheating. The following 3 cards are then flipped face up on the poker table. These cards are known as 'the flop'. Now comes a second sequence of wagering, after that the dealer throws away an additional card and flips 1 more card onto the table. After this, players can use the 6th card to create a five-card poker hand.

An additional round of wagering follows, and in many types of games, here is where the bet amount increases. There is another round of burning a card, and a last placing of a card face-up on the poker table. This is called the "river". Gamblers can now employ any of the 5 cards on the table, and/or the two cards that they are holding, to assemble a five-card poker hand.

To finish it up there's a last round of wagering. Then, all the remaining players start to display their hands. This is describe as the "showdown". Beyond a doubt, the competitor who shows the greatest hand wins. When players have even hands a splitting of the winnings is used.

Holdem is a basic game to learn, but to acquire knowledge one needs a lot of practice.
