The Basic Proceedings in Texas Holdem
Below is a very simplified description of what happens in a round of Texas Holdem poker:
- 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".
- 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.
- The cards are shuffled and the next round is started.
