The largest number of different tournaments is dedicated to this type of card game, "Texas Hold'em". There is no limit and limited hold'em. Mastering its rules will not be difficult, but it can take a very long time to hone the skill of rebounding a successful combination of Texas Hold'em.

Rules

Here they use a standard deck of 52 cards. From a couple to ten people can play. Before the first distribution is made, it is necessary to determine the nominal dealer of the next one. But this does not mean at all that the player will be obliged to constantly deal cards. After all, for example, in the online versions of the game this happens automatically, while in the casino the croupier deals with the distribution. The main thing, of course, is the Texas Hold'em combinations, but you also need to know how to play the game. After the dealer has been determined, the players who are required to post blinds (blind bets) are determined.

This is done for the constant availability of the minimum amount in the bank. To do this, two players are selected who bet money before they can see their cards. There is a big and small blind. The big is the sum of the small multiplied by two. Usually the player seated to the left of the one who bets the smaller amount blindly should make the larger bet. Each player should be the dealer, as he is changed on all distributions. Thus, all participants in the game will make blind bets.

The course of the game and combinations of "Texas Hold'em"

When all bet manipulations are done, players receive two cards face down. They are called private because only the participants who received them can see them. Then five other cards are laid out face down on the table. They are called common because they can be used by every player at the table to make the best combination of five cards: two of their own and three on the table. Remember, before you sit down to the table, carefully study the rules of Texas Hold'em poker, combinations and strategies.

Bidding rounds

The first round of betting is called pre-flop, or rather everything that happens before the first three cards are on the table. At this point, the players, looking at their two cards, decide what to do in the game.

The player to the left of the person with the big blind bet must go first. He is also called the "under the gun" player, as he is in a disadvantageous position. Ateach player has four options, namely:

• "Fold". This means discarding cards, refusing further participation in the game. It is worth noting that the player will not be able to receive any money, even if he has already made a blind bet.
• "Call". The player stays in the game by calling a big blind bet.
• "Raise". Allows you to raise the current bet and set a large amount to be able to stay in the game.
• "Beth". This action is only possible if no one has used it before and has not raised.

When the first round is over, the dealer lays out the first three cards on the table, which is called the flop. Already with these cards in mind, players can assess their chances of success and see if they should continue playing. Usually, this is the moment when beginners and accurate players fold their cards. Others decide what to do. Basically, there is a serious fight and cheating begins.

Third round - "Turn". After the end of the auction, the fourth community card is laid out on the table.

"River" is the period when the last fifth card hits the table and players make their last bets.

Time to open cards

After all bets are placed, it's time for the showdown. Players open their closed combinations and it is determined which of them has collected the most successful one. The one who has collected the highest combination takes the pot, that is, all the money from the bets. If several playerscollected combinations that are equivalent in size, then the bank is divided equally between them. After the pot is de alt, the dealer's position moves to the left to the next player in the game.

Differences between limit and no-limit Hold'em

Regardless of whether it is no-limit or fixed Hold'em, the rules of the game remain the same, but the bets are made differently. The combinations of "Texas Hold'em" also remain the same, the photos of which are presented below.

1. Without a certain limit. In this variation of the game, players have the opportunity to bet any number of chips, regardless of the stage of the game. Thanks to this, the game becomes more dynamic and reckless, and therefore this variety is very popular on television. It also suggests that a person can win very quickly and a very large amount if he collects successful combinations of "Texas Hold'em". But at the same time, there is a big risk of losing all the savings, which is not suitable for players who are just starting to practice poker. In addition, there is an important point: here the "raise" is at least twice the amount of the opponent's last bet. For example, if the last bet was ten dollars, then the "raise" must be at least twenty.



2. Fixed betting limit. Here all bets have their own specific size. This option is ideal for poker beginners, but "flops" in such a game will be quite common. The first two rounds of bidding suggest that"raises" and "bets" will be no more than a small bet. In other rounds, you can raise only by the amount of the big bet. It is also worth considering that bets can be placed no more than three times per round.

Based on these rules, different strategies are used to lead players to win. Therefore, you should carefully consider the choice of strategy when choosing one or another way to play.
