How to deal Texas Hold’em cards

Those, who start playing poker, soon, understand that the art of this card game lies not in the rules of poker knowledge — a good player has to know how to deal Texas Hold’em. This information is provided literally at all sites, which encourages people to start playing poker, but no one can remember it and use it correctly without training. The latter can be done at the best-rated poker rooms. These platforms usually let newcomers learn how to play Texas Hold’em and remember the rules of Texas Hold’em while playing for free.

How to deal Texas Hold’em cards

This game differs from the other poker variants by the Texas Hold’em deal: initially, each participant gets 2 cards, but further, he has to add 3 more Hold’em poker cards, using those ones that lay on the table and seen to all gamers. Besides, bets’ types should be considered. These are, first of all, Ante (a certain bet before the moment when cards are distributed) and Blinds (bets which are obligatory ones, and made when no one yet got the cards).

Guys, who learn how to deal Texas Hold’em, have to know also that in limit Texas Hold’em poker, players are only allowed to place bets of a predetermined size; the raises are also strictly fixed. In pot-limit poker, bets are not so strictly limited. In no-limit poker, the bets’ size is unlimited; however, the number of chips is limited.

Streets in TX Hold’em

The Street here is a certain stage of the deal, at which the player receives cards and takes part in the trade making his bets. These are the Flop, the Turn, and the River, as well as Preflop.

• Preflop. Here, each player receives two cards, and he does not know anything about the cards of other players or their possible combinations. Meanwhile, gamblers go through the first round of betting. They place bets (“Bet”), equalize previously made bets (“Call”), re-raise previously made bets (“Raise”), or simply fold their cards (“Fold”);
• Flop. This is the second stage of betting when the croupier (or a computer) places 3 more community cards on the table, which all players can see. The player must decide for himself what combination he can collect;
• Turn. The dealer draws another community card. Accordingly, players can also use this card when building their combination;
• River. This is the last stage of betting. Players receive another community card. As with the first three, they can raise, call, or fold.

In No-Limit Texas Hold’em, players, who know already how to deal Texas Hold’em, can also use the last card rules, and go All-in (risk all chips).

Poker rules concerning trading order

Trading on any street proceeds in a certain order and each player must speak his word exactly when his turn comes. But the question arises — who will be the first to say this word? Moreover, it is believed that the player who participates in the trade last has an advantage over other participants, since he can already roughly understand the strength of their hands.

The term “button” is used to define the order of trading in poker. In fact, this is a chip that moves clockwise around the table every hand. At the same time, the player who is in the position of the button is the last to say his word in the trade; therefore he is in the most advantageous position.
