TYPE OF GAME: Casino AUDIENCE: Adults Introduction to Texas Hold Em No Limit Texas Holdem.

Sometimes called the cadillac of Poker, Texas Hold em is a fairly easy game to learn but can take years to master.

A deck of cards is placed in the middle of the table and these are known as community deck and these are the cards that the flop will be dealt from.

Once all players have been dealt their initial two cards players will be asked to place their first bid.

Once all players have placed their first bid a second round of bidding occurs.

Once all players have placed their final bids, the dealer will deal the flop.

The dealer will flip over the first 3 cards, known as the flop, from the community deck.

The goal is to make the best 5 card had you can with the three cards from the community deck and the two in your hand.

Once the first three cards have been flipped over, player will have the option to bid again or fold.

The players still remaining will have the option to once again fold or bid.

Now the dealer will flip the 5th and final card over, known as the rivercard.

Once all five cards have been flipped by the dealer, players will have one last chance to raise the bid or fold.

Once all bids and count bids have been made its time for the players to reveal their hands and determine a winner.

First Round Betting: The Pre-Flop When playing Texas hold em a round flat chip or disk is used to represent the position of the dealer.

This disk is placed in front of the dealer to indicate their status.

The person sitting to dealer left is known as the small blind and the person sitting to the left of the small blind is known as the big blind.

When betting, both blinds are required to post a bet before receiving any cards.

The big blind is required to post the equivalent or higher of the bet placed by the small blind.

Once both blinds have posted their bids two cards are dealt to each player and remaining players can choose to fold, call, or raise.

After the end of the game the dealer button is moved to the left so that every player takes on the blind position at some point to maintain the fairness of the game.

Fold The action of surrendering your cards to the dealer and sitting out the hand.
