How to play Texas Hold 'em

You can freely choose your seat in the vacant seats of the casino, but in Texas Hold'em, the seat is a very important factor, and in tournaments or playing with poker friends, the order of the seats is usually determined by the prescribed seat table or playing cards.

Next step, the dealer button position is determined.

The dealer at the first button position (the dealer) will distribute the cards to every players, and the person with the strongest card is determined to be the button. After confirming the player with the button position, the cards will be officially dealt.

Each player is dealt 2 cards face down, and the game starts. These 2 cards are called "hole cards" or "pocket cards". Only 2 cards in the game are dealt to each player. Except for the showdown, there is no need to show it to other players, and you must be careful not to be seen by others.

Once the cards are dealt, the betting round begins. This round is called “Preflop”. Bets are placed clockwise from the left of the big blind. At this time, the big blind corresponds to the opening bet, so the first player cannot check. The small blind player pays the remaining half price to call. If there is no blind, bet from the left side of the dealer button.

If two or more players remain after the preflop betting, the dealer places three cards face up on the table, and this is called “Flop”. The three cards are common cards (community cards) for all players. The next bet is made clockwise from the player to the left of the dealer button when all cards are dealt.
