The object of Hold'em is to accumulate money and most of all, to have FUN!!!
As in any variation of casino games, money is obtained by winning the pot, which is all the bets made during the course of a hand. There are two ways to win the pot:
You can be the last remaining player. Which means that during the play of a hand, players will fold and forfeit their interest in the pot. You win if you are the last remaining player. Or you could have the highest ranking hand. Meaning that if more than one player remains after the last round of betting, there is a showdown. Then all remaining players show the contents of their hands. If you have the highest-ranking hand, then you win the pot.
A Hand in the game of Texas Hold 'Em
At the beginning of a hand, each player is dealt two cards face down these are callled the pocket cards. During play of the hand, a total of five additional cards are placed face up in the center of the table in three stages, creating the board. Each stage of dealing has a different name, it is before each stage that a round of betting is performed. There is a fourth and final round of betting after the last card.
The flop is the first three cards that are exposed in the center of the table. The turn is the term used for the fourth card dealt face up in the center of the table. The river is the fifth and final card to be played, The the players must billed the best hand possible from these 5 cards and the two face down cards dealt to the player at the start of the hand.
In Texas Hold'em, cards in the center of the table are called community cards, they are used by all the players in forming their hands. Your hand is the best five-card combination possible using your two pocket cards and any of the five community cards. If the best five-card hand consists of the five cards on the board, that is your hand. Your pockets cards only matter if one or both of them improve what is on the board.
Hand Rankings in Texas Holdem:
The recognized five-card combinations are summarized in order of rank (the highest-ranked hand, which is the least likely to occur, is listed first).Learn to spot patterns in the formation of hands to gain the insight to your betting strategy. The use of community cards creates possibilities for hands in Texas Hold'em that players of seven-card stud don't think about. For example, in contrast to stud, it is possible for two Texas Hold'em players each to have three cards of the same rank. However, it is impossible for two Hold'em players to have flushes in different suits.
Straight Flush is the five sequentially ordered cards of same suits. The value of the highest card will determine the value of the straight flush. The highest-ranking hand possible, a royal flush, is A, K, Q, J, 10 (all of the same suit).
Four of a Kind are four cards of the same kind of cards, such as four 9's or four Aces. In Texas Hold'em, at least one pair must appear on the board for someone to have four of kind. For example: if you are dealt two 9's, the other two 9's must appear on the board for you to have four 9's. You can also have four 9's if three 9's appear on the board and you hold the remaining 9. If two pairs are on the board, it is possible for two players to have four of a kind. In this case, the rank of the cards forming the hand determines the rank of the hand (four 9's beat four 8's). If all four 9's appear on the board, then all players have four 9's as their hand. To win the hand in this circumstance, one of your pocket cards must be higher than anyone else's pocket card and higher than the fifth card on the board. This illustrates an important concept in Texas Hold'em called the kicker. A kicker is a pocket card that is not part of the combination but decides ties. If the fifth card on the board is higher than anyone's kicker, all players have exactly the same hand and the pot is then split between all players that are tied.
A "Full House" is three of one kind and two of another. For a person to have a full house, a pair must appear on the board. There are several card combinations that allow you to have a full house. One is to have a pair of pocket cards that match one card on the board along with an unrelated pair also appearing. A full house can also occurs if two unmatched pocket cards matches a pair on the board and the other matches one of the other board cards. For example, you have a two 4's as pocket cards and the board has 10, 10, 4, J, A. (you would then have 4's full with 10's). Notice that in this case, you could lose to someone holding 10, A. They would have 10's full with aces. That person could lose to someone with a pair of jacks who would have jacks full with 10's. When multiple players have full houses, the person with highest three of a kind wins. The pair only comes into play when players have the same three of a kind.
A "Flush" is when someone has five cards of the same suit. In Texas Hold'em, at least three suited cards must appear on the board for someone to have a flush. Since only five cards appear on the board, it is not possible for two players in the same hand to have flushes in different suits. All flushes will be of the same suit and again, the highest card wins.
A Straight is when someone has five cards of differing suits in order. The higher the rank of the top card, the higher the straight. The highest possible straight is an Ace high straight (A, K, Q, J, 10) . The lowest possible straight is A, 2, 3, 4, 5 and is often referred to as a bicycle or wheel.
If someone has "Three of a Kind" they have three cards of the same rank, also referred to as trips or a set. You have trips if a pocket pair matches one of the cards on the board, or if one of your pocket cards matches a pair on the board, or if three of kind appears on the board. More than one player can hold three of the same kind. If a pair of aces is on the board, you hold one ace and an opponent holds the other ace, you both have three aces.
Now "Two Pair" is when there are two cards of one rank accompanied with two cards of another rank. This is a very common hand in Texas Hold'em and illustrates a concept discussed earlier, the all important kicker.
Then you have "One Pair" which is when a player posses two cards of the same rank. If you have two pocket cards of the same rank, you have one pair. If two cards of the same rank appear on the board, everyone has at least one pair. Any card you hold that matches at least one card on the board gives you one pair.
The last hand possible is the "High Card" which is If none of the combinations described can be formed, the high card wins at showdown. If players share the same high card, the second highest card plays and so on.
In Texas Holdem you may have Split Pots. Which are if two or more players have the same five card hand at showdown, the money is split between them.
Betting:
A hand of Texas Hold'em has four rounds of betting. In a limit game (the most common form of Hold'em), the first two betting rounds are set at an arbitrary limit (such as $5), and the last two betting rounds are at twice the limit of the early rounds. All bets and raises must be in increments of the limit. Hold'em games are referred to by their limits. In a $5-10 limit game, the betting increments in the first two rounds are $5, and in the last two rounds $10. The flowchart on page 10 shows the four betting rounds and the possible decisions in each round.
Seeding the Pot - Before any cards are dealt, two designated players must place blind bets to seed the pot. The player selected as the small blind must bet about half the smaller limit. Then the player to the immediate left of the small blind, designated as the big blind, must bet the full amount of the smaller limit. In a typical $5-10 game, the small blind bet is $2 and the big blind bet is $5. After each hand, the blind positions shifts by one seat.
Unique Features of Texas Hold 'Em
Hold'em has a small number of starting hands.- Only 169 unique starting hands exist since many of the initial two-card combinations are equivalent. All suits are considered equal so hands such as AJ and A J are same, and likewise suited combinations such as A J, A J are also the same hand.
Hold'em is a fixed position game, which refers to the order in which players act in a round of betting. During a Hold'em hand your position does not change. The small blind always acts first, the big blind second, the player to the left of the blinds next and so on. In stud games position changes as the cards are dealt since the player with the highest exposed cards acts first. Position is important because in all forms of poker it is advantageous to act last in a round of betting. Your position at the start of a hand of Hold'em stays the same for all four rounds of betting, conferring either a permanent advantage or disadvantage.
