Texas Hold ‘em Poker

Texas Hold ‘em Poker (or Holdem Poker) is a variation of the community card family of poker.

The dealer deals 2 cards face down to each player, then places 5 community cards face-up in the center. At first, the dealer opens 3 community cards (the flop), then 1 single card (the turn or fourth street), followed by another single card (the river or fifth street).

Players have the option to check, bet, raise or fold after each deal: before the flop, on the flop, on the turn, and on the river.
