Know The Basic Rules Of Texas Hold'em

The basic rules of Texas Hold’em are simple to know.  I suggest that you know them since Texas Hold'em is so popular.  In Texas Hold'em, a standard hand in goes like this:

1.  The dealer shuffles the deck.
2.  The two players to the left of the dealer (or the player with the dealer button if there is a permanent professional dealer at the table) pay the blinds, one small and one big.
3.  Starting at the player on his left the dealer deals every player two cards face down.
4.  Starting on the player to the left of the big blind, the players begin the first betting round.
5.  The first player has the option to call, raise or fold.
6.  Once the betting round is over, the dealer deals one card face down (the burn card), and three face up (the flop).
7.  The second betting round starts at the player to the left of the dealer.
8.  Once the betting round completes, the dealer deals one card face down, and one card face up (the turn).
9.  The third betting round functions the same as the second betting round.
10. Once the betting round completes, the dealer deals one final card face down, and the final card face up (the river)
11. The final betting round functions the same as the previous two betting rounds.
12. All players still in the hand enter the showdown, where the player holding the best hand at this point wins the pot.
13. The dealer passes the deck (or the dealer button) to the player on his left, and the next hand begins.
