Texas hold'em is a variation of the standard card game of poker
. The game consists of two cards being dealt face down to each player and then five community cards being placed by the dealer. The first series of three card is called the flop and then two additional single cards called the turn and the river. Each player has the option to check and bet or fold after each deal. For example, betting may occur prior to the flop, on the flop, on the turn and on the river.
Like all variants of poker individuals compete for an amount of contributed by each player called the pot. Because the cards are dealt randomly and outside the control of the players, each player attempts to control the amount of money in the pot based on the hand the player holds.
The game is divided into a series of hands or deals. The pot will be awarded to one player at the conclusion of each hand. During the showdown is the time when a hand ends. In which case the remaining players compare their hands and the highest hand is awarded the pot. The highest hand is usually held by only one player, but can be held by more in the case of a tie.
Another possibility for the conclusion of a hand is when all but one player have folded and have thereby abandoned any claim to the pot, in which case the pot is awarded to the player who has not folded.
It is the objective of winning players to make mathematically correct decisions regarding when and how much to bet, raise, call or fold. It is not just about winning every individual hand. By making such decisions, winning poker players maximize long-term winnings by maximizing their expected gain on each round of betting
