Hold'em Help

Texas Hold'em is a popular version of poker played around the world. The object is simple: win as many poker chips from your buddies as you can.

The Basics:
You are dealt two cards that only you can see. A round of betting follows. Next, three cards (the "flop") are turned face up on the table; these are community cards, all players may use these as part of their hands. A round of betting follows, after that another community card (known as "the turn" or "fourth street") is turned face up. Then there's another round of betting, after which a final community card (known as "the river" or "fifth street") is exposed. After a final round of betting, remaining hands are compared to determine the winner. Each player uses the five community cards and the two cards he or she was dealt to make the best five-card hand possible.
