By reading this article you will gain an essential understanding of the basics on how to play Texas Holdem, whether you're playing pay or free poker. Like all variants of poker, individuals compete for combined money or chips (known as the pot). The rotation of the game is always to the dealers left. At the start of the game each gambler receives 2cards, placed with the suit down so the gambler can not see their hand. This is your first chance to have a flutter and during this first period each participant gets the chance to continue or walk away.
The following play involves an additional 3 community cards being dealt out by the dealer in the middle of the table face up- also known as the "flop". These cards are an essential part of the players "hand" and will be used alongside the original 2 cards in hand. After the flop the next round of betting takes place, although there is now an opportunity to "pass" due to the pot previously commencing.
As with before 2 additional cards ("the turn" and "the river") are then dealt out to the middle of the table with the suit facing upwards for all to see. After each card there is a further chance to have a flutter, check or walk away and fold.
When I play I make it good practice to 'throw away' the top cards at every turn: throw one away then turn another. The min theory behind this method is to stop swindling. I will explain; in nearly all cases of marked card deception the top cards are used as marking points, but by throwing away the top card(s) breaks this cycle.
We're not accusing anybody of being a cheater: Burning the top card is just a traditional thing in professional and in many amateur games.
Most of the games I play in have no limit, but hold'em is an interesting game to play with a limit, because after the turn there are plenty of times that you'll have something good to draw at.
If you are new to Hold'em then have a go at playing free poker online where its totally free and you wont lose any of your own cash.
