The Object: The best possible five card poker hand, using any
combination of hole
cards and community
cards, wins the pot.
In hold’em, players receive two downcards as their personal
hand (holecards), after which there is a round of betting. Three
boardcards are turned simultaneously (called the “flop”)
and another round of betting occurs. The next two boardcards
are turned one at a time, with a round of betting after each
card. The boardcards are community cards, and a player may use
any five-card combination from among the board and personal
cards. A player may even use all of the boardcards and no personal
cards to form a hand (play the board). A dealer button
is used. The usual structure is to use two blinds,
but it is possible to play the game with one blind, multiple
blinds, an ante,
or combination of blinds plus an ante. |

Texas Hold'em Rules
1. If the first holecard dealt is exposed,
a misdeal results. The dealer will retrieve the card, reshuffle,
and recut the cards. If any other holecard is exposed due to
a dealer error, the deal continues. The exposed card may not
be kept. After completing the hand, the dealer replaces the
card with the top card on the deck, and the exposed card is
then used for the burncard. If more than one holecard is exposed,
this is a misdeal and there must be a redeal.
2. If the flop contains too many cards, it
must be redealt. (This applies even if it were possible to know
which card was the extra one.)
3. If the flop needs to be redealt because
the cards were prematurely flopped before the betting was complete,
or the flop contained too many cards, the boardcards are mixed
with the remainder of the deck. The burncard remains on the
table. After shuffling, the dealer cuts the deck and deals a
new flop without burning a card.
4. If the dealer turns the fourth card on
the board before the betting round is complete, the card is
taken out of play for that round, even if subsequent players
elect to fold. The betting is then completed. The dealer burns
and turns what would have been the fifth card in the fourth
card’s place. After this round of betting, the dealer
reshuffles the deck, including the card that was taken out of
play, but not including the burncards or discards. The dealer
then cuts the deck and turns the final card without burning
a card. If the fifth card is turned up prematurely, the deck
is reshuffled and dealt in the same manner.
5. If the dealer mistakenly deals the first
player an extra card (after all players have received their
starting hands), the card will be returned to the deck and used
for the burncard. If the dealer mistakenly deals more than one
extra card, it is a misdeal.
6. You must declare that you are playing the
board before you throw your cards away; otherwise you relinquish
all claim to the pot.
