Texas Hold\“em is the most popular poker variant played in India. Each player receives two private cards, and five community cards are dealt face-up on the table. Players use any combination of their two private cards and the five community cards to make the best five-card poker hand.
The game consists of four betting rounds: pre-flop, flop, turn, and river. Betting options include check, bet, call, raise, or fold. The player with the best hand at showdown wins the pot. Hand rankings from highest to lowest are: royal flush, straight flush, four of a kind, full house, flush, straight, three of a kind, two pair, one pair, and high card.
Blinds are forced bets that start the action. The small blind is posted by the player to the left of the dealer button, and the big blind is twice that amount posted by the next player. The dealer button rotates clockwise after each hand. |
