Texas Holdem Poker Rules

At the start of the Texas Holdem poker game, the Dealer shuffles a standard 52-card deck. In casinos and card-rooms, the Dealer does not play. However, when there is a shortage of Dealers or in home games, games may be self-dealt. In self-dealt games, the deal changes each hand in a clockwise direction. In games with a Dealer, a round disc called the "Dealer Button" moves clockwise from player to player with each hand.

Texas Holdem is the world’s most popular form of Poker where players are dealt two cards prior to a voluntary betting round. Ultimately five cards are dealt face up, for all the players to use, to make the best five card combination from the two cards in their hand and the five community cards on the board. There is no definitive birth date of Texas Hold'em , but it is generally accepted that the origins of the game began in Texas in the early 1900s. It is commonly said that "Texas Hold’em takes a minute to learn and a lifetime to master."
