Texas Hold'em is by far the most popular of all poker variations. All of the marquee tournaments around the world (including those played at the World Series of Poker, the World Poker Tour, the European Poker Tour, and elsewhere) feature the no-limit variation of this game. In fact, Texas hold'em is so popular some who aren't familiar with poker don't realize there are other ways to play the game.
It takes a moment to learn, but a lifetime to master.
Learning how to play Texas hold'em poker is not that difficult, but don't let the simplicity of the game mislead you. The number of possible game situations is so vast that the game can be very complex, when playing at a high level. That's the inspiration for the famous saying about Texas hold'em that 'it takes a moment to learn, but a lifetime to master.'
When playing the game for the first time, you will want to be familiar with the basic rules for Texas hold'em that are explained below.
Texas Hold'em Rules
So how do you play Texas hold'em? In Texas hold'em players are trying to make the best five-card poker hand according to traditional poker rankings. In this respect, hold'em is not unlike other poker games like five-card draw. However, the way players construct their hands in Texas hold'em is a little different than in draw poker.
It's always possible a player can 'bluff' and get others to fold better hands.
In hold'em each player is dealt two cards face down (the 'hole cards'), then over the course of subsequent rounds five more cards are eventually dealt face up in the middle of the table. These face up cards are called the 'community cards' because each player uses them to make a five-card poker hand.
The five community cards are dealt in three stages:
Stage 1: The first three community cards are called the 'flop.'
Stage 2' Then just one card is dealt, called the 'turn.'
Stage 3: Finally one more card, the fifth and final community card, is dealt — the 'river.'
Players construct their five-card poker hands using the best available five cards out of the seven total cards (the two hole cards and the five community cards). This can be done by using both of the hole cards in combination with three community cards, one hole card in combination with four community cardsm or no hole cards and playing all five community cards — whatever works to make the best five-card hand.
If the betting causes all but one player to fold, the lone remaining player wins the pot without having to show any cards. For that reason, players don't always have to hold the best hand to win the pot. It's always possible a player can 'bluff' and get others to fold better hands. If two or more players make it all of the way to the showdown after the last community card is dealt and all betting is complete, then the only way to win the pot is to have the highest-ranking five-card poker hand.
Let's get into some specifics including how to deal Texas hold'em and how the betting works. A good way to explain the order of play is to talk about some of the key positions at the table — the button and the blinds (small blind and big blind).
The Button
Play moves clockwise around the table, starting with action to the left of the dealer button. The button is a round disc that sits in front of a player and is rotated one seat to the left every hand. When playing in casinos and poker rooms, the player with the dealer button doesn't actually deal the cards (the poker room hires someone to do that). In home games with friends, though, the player with the button usually does deal the hands.
The button determines which player at the table is the acting dealer.
Generally, the first two players sitting to the immediate left of the button are required to post a small blind and a big blind to initiate the betting. From there, action occurs on multiple streets: preflop, the flop, the turn and the river (explained further below).
The button determines which player at the table is the acting dealer. In Texas hold'em, the player on button, or last active player closest to the button, receives last action on all postflop streets of play.
While the dealer button dictates which players have to post the small and big blinds, it also determines where the dealing of the cards begin. The player to the immediate left of the dealer button in the small blind receives the first card and then the dealer pitches cards around the table in a clockwise motion from player to player until each has received two starting cards.
The Blinds
As mentioned, before every new hand, two players at the table are obligated to post small and big blinds. These are forced bets that begin the wagering. Without these blinds, the game would be very boring because no one would be required to put any money into the pot. Players could just wait around until they are dealt pocket aces and only play then. The blinds, however, ensure there will be 'action' on every hand.
In tournaments, the blinds are raised at regular intervals. In cash games, the blinds always stay the same.
In tournaments, the blinds are raised at regular intervals. As the number of players keeps decreasing and the stacks of the remaining players keep getting bigger, it is a necessity that the blinds keep increasing throughout a tournament. In cash games, the blinds always stay the same.
The player directly to the left of the button posts the small blind, and the player to his or her direct left posts the big blind. The small blind is generally half the amount of the big blind, although this stipulation varies from room to room and can also be dependent of the game being played. For example, in a '$1/$2' game of Texas hold'em, the small blind is $1 and the big blind is $2.
First Betting Round: Preflop
The first round of betting takes place right after each player has been dealt two hole cards. The first player to act is the player to the left of the big blind, a position referred to as 'under the gun' because the player has to act first. This player has three options:
- Call: match the amount of the big blind
- Raise: increase the bet within the specific limits of the game
- Fold: throw the hand away
If the player chooses to fold, he or she is no longer eligible to win the current hand.
Players can bet anywhere from the amount of the big blind (the minimum bet allowed) up to the total amount in the current pot.
The amount a player can raise to depends on the game that is being played. Most commonly in a game of no-limit Texas hold'em, the minimum opening raise must be at least twice the big blind, and the maximum raise can be all of the chips a player has in his or her stack (an 'all-in' bet).
There are other betting variations in hold'em poker. In fixed-limit hold'em (or just 'limit hold'em), a raise is always exactly twice the big blind. In pot-limit hold'em (played much less often than the other variations), players can bet anywhere from the amount of the big blind (the minimum bet allowed) up to the total amount in the current pot.
After the first player ('under the gun') acts, play proceeds in a clockwise fashion around the table with each player also having the same three options — to call, to raise, or fold. Once the last bet is called and the action is 'closed,' the preflop round is over and play moves on to the 'flop.'
Second Betting Round: The Flop
After the first preflop betting round has been completed, the first three community cards are dealt and a second betting round follows involving only the players who have not folded already.
A check simply means to pass the action to the next player in the hand.
In this betting round (and subsequent ones), action starts with the first active player to the left of the button. Along with the options to bet, call, fold, or raise, a player now has the option to 'check' if no betting action has occurred beforehand. A check simply means to pass the action to the next player in the hand.
Again betting continues until the last bet or raise has been called (which closes the action). It also can happen that every player simply chooses not to be and checks around the table, which also ends the betting round.
Third Betting Round: The Turn
Call – match the amount of the big blind
The fourth community card, called the turn, is dealt face up following all betting action on the flop. Once this has been completed, another round of betting occurs, similar to that on the previous street of play. Again players have the option to options to check, bet, call, fold, or raise.
Final Betting Round: The River
Fold – throw the hand away
The fifth community card, called the river, is dealt face up following all betting action on the turn. Once this has been completed, another round of betting occurs, similar to what took play on the previous street of play. Once more the remaining players have the option to options to check, bet, call, fold, or raise.
After all betting action has been completed, the remaining players in the hand with hole cards now expose their holdings to determine a winner. This is called the showdown.
The Showdown
Players construct their hands by choosing the five best cards from the seven available
The remaining players open their hole cards, and with the assistance of the dealer a winning hand is determined. The player with the best combination of five cards wins the pot according to traditional poker hand rankings. These hand rankings aren't specifically part of Texas hold'em rules, but apply to many different poker games.
- Royal Flush — five cards of the same suit, ranked ace through ten; e.g., A♥K♥Q♥J♥10♥
- Straight Flush — five cards of the same suit and consecutively ranked; e.g., 9♣8♣7♣6♣5♣
- Four of a Kind — four cards of the same rank; e.g., Q♣Q♥Q♦Q♠4♦
- Full House — three cards of the same rank and two more cards of the same rank; e.g., J♣J♥J♠8♦8♥
- Flush — any five cards of the same suit; e.g., A♠J♠8♠5♠2♠
- Straight — any five cards consecutively ranked; e.g., Q♣J♦10♥9♠8♦
- Three of a Kind — three cards of the same rank; e.g., 8♣8♠8♦K♣4♥
- Two Pair — two cards of the same rank and two more cards of the same rank; e.g., A♠A♣J♦J♣7♠
- One Pair — two cards of the same rank; e.g., 10♥10♣9♥4♦2♦
- High Card — five unmatched cards; e.g., A♣J♦10♠5♣2♥ would be called 'ace-high'
Remember, players construct their hands by choosing the five best cards from the seven available (their two hole cards and the five community cards).
For example, if the board is showing 9♣5♠K♦3♠A♥, a player with the two hole cards 9♠ would have two pair (aces and nines), and would lose to a player who has 9♦9♥ for three of a kind (three nines).
Learning hold'em poker begins with understanding how hands are dealt and the order of play as described above. Of course, learning Texas hold'em rules is just the beginning, as the next step is to learn strategy which involves understanding what constitutes good starting hand selection, the odds and probabilities associated with the game, the significance of position and getting to act last during those postflop betting rounds, and many other aspects of the game.

Miscellaneous Texas Holdem Rules
Raising
- A player must either declare their intent to raise verbally before making any actions or bring the amount of chips equal to the total amount of their raise into play at the same time. A player is not allowed to place chips, return to their stack and place more chips. This is known as a string bet.
- Solutions to any other random situation you come across can be found here .
Buying Chips
- The minimum number of chips a player is allowed to buy before their first hand dealt is determined by the house rules governing the game. Typically a minimum is 50-100 times the big blind.
- There is no maximum to the number of chips a player may buy at any time.
- In a cash game a player may reload, or add more chips to their stack, at any time between hands. Once a hand is started, a player may only use the chips they had in play at the beginning of the hand, during that hand. Any additional chips will not be 'in play' until the next deal.

Straight beats a pair, if that is what you are suggesting. Always, 5 cards make the hand, so if player 1 chooses to make their hand with their Q plus the community Q, they have a pair of queens and they lose. Assuming player 2 uses the AKQJ to complete a straight with their 10. Normally, player 1 would not make such a mistake and the pot is split as both players make their hand from the community cards.

Do you have a reference for this rule as we had the same issue,
Jaime DeGrae DeMeneses 2017-07-27 16:05:55
Technically yes, as the verbal 'raise' s binding so the table knows a raise is coming.
Stephen Salmon 2017-07-27 15:59:27
you are wrong.I Have since posting this found the correct answer. After the hand is wonwith ghe best hand, the person who comes second is he/she with the most chips.

Next best hand...
Jaime DeGrae DeMeneses 2017-07-27 15:52:28
Not correct - for the hand to proceed, every player still in must have put the same value of chips into the pot. Every raise, must be called, folded on, or raised.
wanstronian 2017-07-19 10:21:47
Just to make sure I've got this right... If everybody in a round raises then the last player is putting in more money than anybody else - so more to lose? So in practice the last player would never do anything more than call, right?
Brenda Holmstedt 2017-06-27 13:02:55
I am not sure if this question is going to make sense but I hope it does We play friendly games of Texas hold'em. OK let's see if I can make sense of this there was three people left on the table playing one person had maybe 40,000 in chips one person had 30,000 in chips and one person only had 8000. So the Dealer put in first because we were blinds she decided to go on and she only had 1000 so it was her 10,000 and then her 7000 after I had to go because I was a blind which I only had to go in Half if I want it was on sure what to do but I went with her the 8000 the other lady had to go when her 10,000 because she was the big line now she decided to go in all which the only other person that could i've matched her was me Which I ended up doing That money went to the side because the other person the dealer and no other money No the big blind person one so she got all the money no we always play first and second place and high hand if no one other than the winner has any chips does she get all first and second prize money I thought she did but they're trying to say she didn't so does anybody know the answer to this just so you know we play a friendly game of poker it's a bunch of older ladies that are playing we do it for fun and we've always had first place second place high hand Thank you sorry so long of a piece here I just wanted to make sure I wrote everything in there to hopefully find out if somebody can give me the info on this for the next time if it ever happens again thank you again

Texas Hold em Starthanden
Texas Hold em kent genoeg strategische concepten, theorieën en berekeningen om honderden boeken mee te vullen. Het is dan ook onnodig om te zeggen dat je zoveel tijd als je wilt kunt besteden aan het lezen van en discussiëren over pokerstrategie zonder dat je elk onderwerp twee keer hoeft te behandelen.
Wanneer het aankomt op het leren van het spel dan is het beste advies om te beginnen bij het begin en geld verdienen met No-Limit Texas Hold em begint bij het selecteren van de handen die je wilt spelen en hoe je deze wilt spelen.
Zelfs een “ top 10 hand” kan de verkeerde hand zijn om te spelen afhankelijk van de situatie op dat moment.
Een van de eerste dingen die je moet leren om een winstgevende speler te worden is tight spelen. Dat betekent dat je alleen de sterke starthanden speelt en alle andere handen fold. Hoe sterker de starthand is, des te makkelijker het zal zijn om de hand zonder fouten te spelen.
Tight spelen is de absolute basis wanneer je leert om winstgevend poker te spelen.
In tegenstelling tot de flop en de turn, die je misschien één of twee keer per orbit zult spelen, moet je preflop elke hand een beslissing maken. Wanneer je pre-flop loose speelt dan kost dat elke keer geld wanneer je een hand besluit te spelen die je eigenlijk helemaal niet zou moeten spelen.
Om meer te leren over welke starthanden je zou moeten spelen en hoe je deze zou moeten spelen kun je terecht bij onze Suck at Poker strategie series die je kunt vinden in onze beginner strategie sectie .

Benodigdheden poker hold’em
Voor het spelen van Texas Hold’em heb je minimaal twee spelers en maximaal tien spelers nodig. Verder heb je een deck van 52 kaarten nodig en een dealer of dealerbutton. Wanneer je in een ( online ) casino speelt, zal je zien dat je fiches moet kopen om deel te nemen in een pokerroom. Dit is natuurlijk geen vereiste wanneer je poker met vrienden thuis speelt.
Wanneer je Texas hold’em thuis speelt, is het lastig om een vrijwilliger als dealer te regelen. In dit geval kun je gebruik maken van de dealerbutton, waardoor iedereen omstebeurt als dealer actief is. In principe wordt een dealerbutton altijd bij een pokerset meegeleverd.

Pokertips voor beginners
Door flink te oefenen met pokeren, zou je steeds beter moeten worden. De onderstaande pokertips helpen om jezelf wegwijs te maken in het spel:
Let op de rol van positie
Beginnende spelers hebben vaak niet door hoe belangrijk de positie aan tafel is. En dat is doodzonde. De sterkte van een hand is namelijk grotendeels afhankelijk van de positie aan tafel. Hoe beter de positie, hoe beter een hand te spelen is.
Speel niet te veel starthanden
Speel als beginnende speler zo min mogelijk twijfelachtige kaarten en beperk je tot de beste starthanden. Hierdoor zul je aan vele ronden kunnen meespelen, zonder dat je grote verliezen lijdt.
Kansloze hand? Ga níet verder
Texas Hold'em Poker Rules
Overschatting is levensgevaarlijk. Veel spelers hebben niet door dat hun hand al kansloos is en blijven hopen op die ene kaart om te kunnen winnen. Bij poker moet je echter weten wanneer je een hand moet opgeven. Wees verstandig en weet wanneer te stoppen.
Wees realistisch
Plaatjes geven het idee dat je over een goede hand beschikt, maar als de flop niet voor de juiste aanvulling zorgt, kan dat heel anders aflopen. Stop op dit soort momenten en probeer het de volgende keer gewoon opnieuw. Wees geduldig en wacht je kans af.

Zet de tegenstander onder druk
Texas Holdem Poker Rules
Vaak wordt er te weinig druk gezet. Veel spelers maken het hun tegenstanders niet al te lastig en geven daardoor het heft uit handen. Probeer echter om druk te zetten. Als je een goede hand hebt, moet je ook flink willen inzetten — op zijn minst drie keer de blinds. Zo voorkom je dat gelukzoekers meegaan en kans maken op de pot. Reken vroegtijdig af met dit doemscenario en zet op gepaste momenten de aanval in. Wees meedogenloos.
