Playing Holdem Poker
Poker is indeed a very popular game over the Internet. You can even find this game as an application on some social networking websites. It allows you to win over other nationalities. However, you too should be wary because you may be spending too much time on the Internet instead of spending time with your family. One way for you to enjoy Poker Hold’em is to teach this to your kids and partner.
First, let them understand that Texas hold ‘em, hold’em or holdem is just the same as your regular poker. The aforementioned terms are just variations of it. The game starts with two cards dealt face down to the players. When all the players have their cards, the dealer would reveal five community cards. The first three cards is called “the flop”. The succeeding two additional cards are called “the turn” and “the river” respectively. Players have the option to either bet or fold after every set of community cards shown. Remember that they have to bet before the flop, on the flop itself, on the turn and on the river.
Players have the goal of winning the pot of chips or money contributed by all of the players. The nice thing about the game of Poker Hold’em is that players can control the amount of money that they want to put in play. When they call, it just means that they agree to whatever amount is being wagered. Once they fold, it means that they withdraw from that particular round and decide not to put their cards into play. Deciding to raise is raising the stakes, thus making the pot have a bigger amount. Since the cards are played randomly, there is no way that each player would know what the other one has. He can just hope that he has a good hand to play with.
One thing about this game is that players can bluff about their cards. Even if they do not have a good hand, they can make some subtle moves or gestures wherein the others will think otherwise. You will lose nothing if you do this. Just pray that the community cards will be on your side to guarantee you the win.
These are just the basic things that you have to remember when it comes to Poker Hold’em. You can do more research on the Internet if you want to learn more about it. The aforementioned are only the basics of poker.
