What is Texas Hold'em?
 

Texas Hold'em is the most popular poker game. Play using a standard 52-card deck. In short; each player is dealt 2 cards face down and 5 community cards are placed face up, and each player must build the best 5 card combination of these 7 cards. Several rounds of betting take place after the reserve card is dealt, the first three community cards (the flop), the next community card (the turn) and the last community card (the river). Players compete to accumulate the most chips or money, depending on whether it is a cash game or a tournament. However, this is a very simple summary of a very detailed and complex game that tests each player's intelligence, luck, psychology and courage.

In 1967, a group of Texas players first introduced Hold'Em to its spiritual home, Las Vegas.
