Texas Hold'em

I won't go into much detail on this because you probably have seen this on T.V. It is by far the most common game of poker played.

A hand of Texas Hold'em starts with each player being dealt two cards face down. Betting starts to the left of the dealer and continues around. After betting is completed, three community cards are dealt face up in the middle. This is known as the flop.

Another round of betting occurs, and then a fourth community card is dealt. This is known as the turn or 4th street.

A third round of betting occurs, and then the fifth and final community card is dealt. This is known as the river or 5th street. After all the cards are dealt a final round of betting occurs, and the best hand wins. Below is a hand of online texas hold'em.
