In every hand of texas each player will put money in the pot. then the dealer will deal each player two cards, these are known as the "Hole" cards, dealt face down each player can view thier own cards.
Hold'em can be played with as little as two players (going "heads up"), up to a max of eleven players.
Texas Hold'Em is Seven Card Stud where each player gets two down cards; "Hole" cards with the remaining five up cards; "Community" cards being placed in the center of the table which all players use to complete their hand.
The best five card hand wins according to the attached listing of possible hands
Two "Hole" cards plus any three "Community" cards
One "Hole" card plus any four "Community" cards
Five "Community" cards (should more than one player use only the "Community" cards as their winning hand, the pot will be split between them regardless of "Hole" cards). Odd chips will be given to winning player closest to dealer's left.
Objective
Like most variants of poker, the objective of Texas Hold 'em is to win the pot the sum of the money bet by oneself and other players. The pot is won either at the showdown by forming the best poker hand out of up to 7 cards available, or by betting to cause other players to fold and abandon their claim to the pot.
