The Basic Proceedings in Texas Holdem

Below is a very simplified description of what happens in a round of Texas Holdem poker:
  1. Two cards are dealt to each player and then five cards are dealt onto the table. These five cards are referred to as the "community cards".
  2. Each player will select five out of the possible seven cards (two in their hand, five on the table) to form what is called a "hand". At the end of the round the players will compare their hands to find out who has the best hand and therefore wins the pot.
  3. The cards are shuffled and the next round is started.
It is vital that you understand these proceeding before you read on to try and learn the more complex issues concerned with Texas Holdem poker.
