Before we even get into the rules governing Poker, it needs to be understood that Poker the origins of Poker dates all the way back to the 16th century. Therefore, it is understandable that there are several variations and versions of Poker which are now in existence. However, one of the most popular types of Poker around the world is Texas Hold ‘em and it is usually the kind of Poker which is played in most of the biggest Poker tournaments in the world including the likes of WSOP, WPT, EPT, etc.
Texas Hold’em Rules. In Texas hold’em each player is dealt two cards called their ‘hole’ cards. Hole cards can only be seen and used by one person. The dealer button (denoted by a circular disc) is allocated before hands are dealt to allow for the positioning of the forced bets: small blind and big blind, and also to determine who will act first and last in the hand. Texas Holdem Rules - The Deal Once all players have been properly seated at the table and the blinds and/or antes have been paid into the pot, the deal begins. Each player will receive one card face down, in sequences starting with the player to the left of the dealer, then followed up by a second card in sequence to each player. Texas Holdem Betting Rules The person dealing the cards deals to the left of the player with the dealer button first and rotates clockwise around the table. Each player gets one card at a time until each player has two cards, both face down.
Even though, it seems simplistic at first when compared to some of the other types of Poker, you can rest assured that it does get pretty complicated in certain scenarios, especially when playing a high stakes game. This is why there is pretty popular proverb when it comes to Texas Hold ‘Em and it goes a little something like this –“It takes a moment to learn, but a lifetime to master”.The Basics Of The Texas Hold Em
In the paragraphs below, we will enumerate the basic rules of Texas Hold Em’, which should be a good place to start if you want to get familiar with the rules and the hands.Rule 1: Button
The button is basically what determines which one of the players sat at the table will be the acting dealer for that round of dealing. Whoever has the button will be the dealer. The player on the button or the closest player to the button (if player on the button is an inactive one) will receive the last action on all post – flop streets of play.
Usually, while playing in a land based casino or a real money online casino, there is no need for a button as there is a professional dealer hosting the game at the table. It is when you are playing with friends, that you will need to use the button. After every round, the button moves one spot to the left and that player then becomes the dealer for that round.
Not only does the button determine who the dealer is, but it will also dictate who begins the betting with the small blind and the big blind.Rule 2: The small and big blind
At the start of every round, a couple of players at the table will mandatorily have to make bets. These bets are known as the small blind and the big blind. This is what kicks off the betting and ensures that people need to post a minimum bet if they want to stay in the running and stand a chance of winning the pot. As the number of players on the table gets smaller, and the existing poker chip collections of the remaining players grow larger, the bling will also be increased periodically.
Generally, the small blind is half the amount of the big blind, but this is not a hard and fast rule and may vary from game to game. The player sitting to the left of the button will post the small blind and the player seated to the left of that player will have to post the big blind.Rule 3: The objective of the game
Obviously, the objective of the game is to win. However, you only win when you have the best combination of cards when it comes time to showdown. In Texas Hold’em, every player receives two cards face down and they don’t have to reveal their cards to anyone until it comes time to show (showdown). Apart from the two cards in hand, each player can also use the common pool of five cards which will be dealt face up on the table. These cards are common to all players at the table and so they are called community cards. When you make the best combination at the table using the cards in hand and your community cards, you will win the pot that was accumulated during the betting rounds for that play.Betting – first round
The first round of betting begins once each player has been dealt two cards have been dealt. At this point, the player to the left of the button will bet the small blind, the player to the left of that player will bet the big bling and they player to the left of the big blind will then either call, raise or fold.
A call is when you match the minimum amount to stay in the game. A raise is when you increase the bet and keep it within the specified limits and a fold is when you don’t want to bet anything at all so you retire from the game and give away your cards.
The next players to follow will also have the same options. However, if the player before them had raised the bet, then they will have to match the raised bet to stay in the running.Betting – Second round, third round and final round
In the second round, the dealer will reveal the first three community cards. Then the player to the left of the button (active player) will begin the betting. Now, the player has the additional option of “check”, which means to pass the betting opportunity to the next player without making a bet.
After the second round of betting is complete, the fourth community card will be dealt face up and the third round of betting is initiated. They can, call, fold, raise or check depending on what the bettor before himher did.
Next, the fifth community card is revealed and the fourth and final round of begin may start. As usual, the first active player (someone who has not yet folded) will get to go first. Even in this round, players have the option to fold, call, raise and check. Once the final round of betting is concluded, it is time to see who is the winner.Rule 4: Showdown
Now that all the community cards have been dealt and all the betting is complete, it is time to determine who won the pot that has accumulated. This part of the game is known as the showdown. The players who are still in the game (haven’t folded) will be required to expose their two “hole cards” (the two cards in their hand non – community cards).
Depending on the rankings of the cards and hands, the winning hand is determined. The player who has made the best combination of cards will get to take the pot.

There are many different forms of poker including seven card stud, Omaha, five-card draw, and Texas hold’em to name a few. Hold’em has evolved as the most popular game worldwide and is the form we shall use to cover the basic rules of poker.
In this lesson we’ll take you step by step through the basic rules of poker and we’ll use an example hand to illustrate. You can read the text that follows or alternatively you can watch the video version instead. Watching the video is probably the better option because it’s easier to follow the betting action, but the choice is yours.The Setup
The game of hold’em is typically played with nine or ten players at the table.
Figure 1
In our example we have ten players. The dealer button is on player 1, the blinds have been posted, and each player has received their hole cards. If this doesn’t make sense to you, then don’t worry we’ll explain exactly what this all means.The Dealer Button
The dealer button is the round disc labelled with “Dealer” or “D”, and it signifies who is the dealer for the hand. Please be aware that each player gets to ‘act’ as the dealer, even if they don’t physically deal the cards. After each hand the dealer button moves to the next player, in a clockwise manner. In figure 1, the dealer button is with player 1, but for the next hand it’ll be with player 2, and then player 3, and so on.
The dealer position is also called “the button” and is the most favourable position in the game as that player gets to act last after he has seen everyone else make their decisions. The exception to this rule occurs on the very first round of betting wherein the “blinds” will act after the button.Blind Bets
Before any cards are dealt the two players to the left of the dealer button are required to post what are referred to as the blinds. These are forced and compulsory bets that encourage the action and give players something to shoot for. Typically there is a small blind directly to the left of the button, who posts half the size of the big blind’s obligation. The amount of the blinds is determined by the stakes of the game.
Figure 2
In our example we’re using blinds of $1 and $2. In case it’s not obvious, they are called blind bets because the two players are required to post them before they see their cards.The Deal
Once the blinds have been posted each player is dealt two facedown cards, which are often referred to as their hole cards. The best two hole cards a player can be dealt in hold’em are two Aces’, but we’ll discuss the importance of starting hand selection in later lessons. All you need to know for now is that after the blinds have been posted and the hole cards have been dealt, the betting action can begin.Pre-Flop
This first betting round is called the pre-flop betting round. The first player to act is the player directly to the left of the big blind (in our example this would be player 4) and he has three options; to call the amount of the big blind, which in our example would be $2, to raise, or to fold. If a player decides to fold then they muck (discard/throw away) their cards facedown and sit out until the next hand is dealt. The action then follows around the table in a clockwise direction until each player has been afforded the opportunity to call, raise or fold.
The whole betting procedure of poker can be a little confusing for beginners. In our example hand you can see that players 2 and 3 have posted the blinds. If all the players to the left of player 3 decide to call the $2 bet then the action is on the small blind, player 2, who has so far only posted a small blind of $1. He now has the option to call $1 more to make up the bet, or he can raise. If he calls the extra $1, then the big blind is left with the final option. Since the blind bets are made before the cards are dealt, they are considered “live” which means that even if all the other players just call the big blind he then still has the option to raise, if he wishes. If the big blind doesn’t want to raise then the betting round is over and we can move onto the flop, which we’ll explain in a moment.
What if a player decides to raise? If a player decides to raise the big blind bet of $2, then all the remaining players must either call the new bet, re-raise, or fold.
Figure 3
In our example player 6 raised the betting to $4, player 7 folded and is now out of the hand. Player 8 called, but players 9, 10, and 1 all folded and are also out of this hand. Players 2, 3, 4, and 5, all called player 6’s raise. Once all bets have been equalized (i.e. matched), then the betting round is over. In our example, six players are now left in and the pot contains $24 ($4 x 6). This brings us onto the next betting round, called the flop.

After the first round of betting is complete three community cards are dealt face up in the middle of the table. All the active players can use these three cards, along with their two hole cards, to make their best possible hand. These three cards are known as “the flop”. Here’s the flop before any further betting has taken place:
Figure 4
You will notice that all the bets from previous round (pre-flop) are now in the pot. After the flop has been dealt, another betting round begins. The first active player to the left of the dealer button starts the action. In our example this is the small blind from the opening round, player 2. The forced action created by the blind bets no longer exists and that player has two options; to check or bet. A check means to neither open the betting nor fold. When a player checks the action moves onto the next active player, who may also check. If a player wants to check they either verbally announce “check”, or they tap the table with their finger or hand (or click the mouse if playing online poker).
If a player decides to open the betting, the option to check is over, and a player must either call, raise, or fold – this includes any players who have previously checked. Once all bets for this betting round have been matched or every player has opted to check, then we move onto the next betting round. For our example hand, let’s suppose that after the flop was dealt, players 2, 3, 4, and 5, all checked. But player 6 then bet $2, which was called by player 8. Players 2, 3, and 4 all fold, but player 5 calls the $2. These three players get to see “the turn”.The Turn
After the second round of betting (the flop) a fourth card is dealt and that card is called “the turn” – it’s also sometimes referred to as 4th street. In our example hand we have three players remaining:
Figure 5
You will also notice that the pot now contains $30, which is made up of $24 from the first betting round, and $6 from the betting on the flop. After the forth community card (the turn) has been dealt, another round of betting takes place, exactly the same format as the previous betting round, starting with the first active player to the left of the dealer button. In our example, this would be player 5. He may check or bet. Let’s suppose that player 5 checks, as do players 6 and 8. If all the players check, the round is over, and we move onto “the river”.The River
After the third round of betting is complete the fifth and final board card is dealt and that card is called “the river” – it’s also sometimes referred to as 5th street.
Figure 6
In our example hand, there is $30 in the pot and player 5 bets $4. He’s raised by player 6 (who makes it $8 total). Let’s suppose that player 8 folds, and player 5 decides to call the extra $4. When the final betting round ends with two or more active players (as our example has done), then we get to what is called a “showdown”.The Showdown
After the final betting round is completed, it’s time to see who has won the hand, and the money in the pot. Now that all of the cards have been dealt, each player can combine his two hole cards with any of the five cards on the board to create his best five card poker hand. The winning hand must been seen, which means players can now reveal their two hole cards. The player that was called (player 6) is required to show first. Figure 7 shows an example showdown after both players have shown their hole cards:
Figure 7
Which hand wins? Player 5 has a straight (9, T, J, Q, K), and player 6 has a higher straight (T, J, Q, K, A) but his best hand is a flush (A, K, Q, T, 5 of hearts). If you studied the poker hand rankings lesson then you will be aware that a flush always beats a straight. Therefore player 6 wins this hand, and as you can see in figure 6, after the final betting on the river, the pot now contains $46. Player 6 wins the pot of $46, and a new hand can begin.Some Important Points…
In our above example it was mentioned on more than one occasion that not all hands will reach the point of a showdown. It’s important that you realize that a hand of poker can be over even before the players get to see the flop. Our example hand made it to a showdown, but if a player had made a bet which wasn’t called during any of the betting rounds, then this player would’ve won, uncontested. Think of it like a boxing fight, where a fighter could land a knockout blow in the first round, or both boxers could still be standing after 12 rounds, in which case it’d be decided on points.
It’s also worth noting that if you do get to a showdown scenario then you are not obligated to even use your two hole cards. If the best five card hand you can make is comprised of the five community cards, you are said to be playing the board. For example, if the five community cards (flop, turn, and river) made up a Royal flush, the best possible hand in poker, then all the remaining active players would share the pot, regardless of their hole cards. Even though each player has seven cards in total, only five of them count – your best five.
Once you have the basic rules of poker understood, it’s time to start building a powerful strategy. See how our friends at Red Chip Poker built the perfect course to give you the perfect playbook…
Of course there are many other rules and important concepts you need to understand, but hopefully you’ve learnt a lot from this lesson. The game of Texas hold’em is a deceptively simple game, but as you move through the myriad of poker lessons here on Pokerlogy you will experience an astounding wealth of information and strategy.Related Lessons

It’s important that you realize that a hand of poker can be over even before the players get to see the flop. Our example hand made it to a showdown, but if a player had made a bet which wasn’t called during any of the betting rounds, then this player would’ve won, uncontested. Think of it like a boxing fight, where a fighter could land a knockout blow in the first round, or both boxers could still be standing after 12 rounds, in which case it’d be decided on points.
It’s also worth noting that if you do get to a showdown scenario then you are not obligated to even use your two hole cards. If the best five card hand you can make is comprised of the five community cards, you are said to be playing the board. For example, if the five community cards (flop, turn, and river) made up a Royal flush, the best possible hand in poker, then all the remaining active players would share the pot, regardless of their hole cards. Even though each player has seven cards in total, only five of them count – your best five.
