Rules and combinations of Texas Hold'em

The largest number of different tournaments is dedicated to this type of card game, "Texas Holdem". There is no limit and limited "Holdem". It is not difficult to master his rules, but it takes a very long time to perfect the skill of the selection of a successful combination of Texas Hold'em.

rules

Here we use a standard deck consisting of 52 cards. They can play from a couple to ten people. Before the first distribution is made, it is necessary to determine the nominal dealer next. But this does not mean that the player will be obliged to constantly hand over cards. After all, for example, in online versions of the game it happens automatically, and in the casino the deal is dealt with by the dealer. The main thing , of course, is a combination of "Texas Hold'em", but you also need to know how to play the game. After determining the dealer, determine the players who are obliged to put the blinds (stakes blindly).

This is done to keep a minimum amount in the bank. For this, two players are selected who put money before they can look at their cards. There is a big and small blind. Large is the sum of small, multiplied by two. Usually the big bet should be made by the player sitting to the left of the one who puts the smaller amount blindly. As a dealer should visit every player, as it is changed at all hands. Thus, blind bets will be made by all participants of the game.

The course of the game and the combination of "Texas Hold'em"

When all the manipulations with the bets are made, players receive two cards, turned upside down. They are called closed because they can only be seen by the participants. Then, five other cards are laid down on the table. They are called common, as each player at the table can use them to collect the best combination of five cards: two of their own and three on the table. Remember, before you sit down at the table, carefully study the rules of the game of poker "Texas Hold'em", combinations and strategies.

Trading rounds

Pre-flop is called the first round of trading, or rather all that happens before the first three cards are on the table. At this point, players, having looked at their two cards, decide how to act in the game.

The player who is sitting to the left of the person who put the big blind rate should walk first. He is also called a "target" player, since he is in a disadvantageous position. Each player has four options for action, namely:

• "Fold". This means to fold, refusing to continue to participate in the game. It should be noted that the player can not get any money, even if he has already made a blind bet.
• "Call." The player remains and the game, calling a large blind bet.
• "Raise". Allows you to raise the current bet and set a large amount to stay in the game.
• "Beth". This action is possible only if no one has used it before and raised.

When the first round is completed, the dealer puts three first cards on the table, which they call a flop. Already taking into account these cards, players can assess their chances of success and notice whether they should continue the game. It is usually at this point that the newcomers' cards and neat players are discarded. Others decide how they should act. Basically, a serious struggle is under way and the mukhlezh begins.

The third round is "The Turn". After the end of the auction, the fourth common card is placed on the table.

"River" refers to the period when the last fifth card hits the table and players make the last bets.

Time to open cards

After all bets are made, it's time to open the cards. Players open their closed combinations and determine which of them has collected the most successful. The one who collected the highest combination, takes the bank, that is, all the money from the bets. If several players have collected combinations that are equivalent in size, then the bank is divided equally among them. After the bank is dealt out, the dealer's position is shifted to the left to the next participant in the game.

Differences between the limit and unlimited "Holdem"

Regardless of the unlimited or fixed "Holdem", the rules of the game remain the same, but here the bets are done differently. Also, the combinations of "Texas Hold'em", which are shown below, remain the same.

1. Without a certain limit. In this variation of the game, players have the ability to bet any number of chips, regardless of the stage at which the game is played. Thanks to this, the game becomes more dynamic and exciting, and therefore this version is very popular on television. It also shows that a person can win very quickly and a very large sum if he collects successful combinations of "Texas Hold'em". But at the same time there is a big risk of losing all savings, which is not suitable for players who are just beginning to practice poker. In addition, there is an important point: here the "raise" is not less than the double sum of the last bet of the opponent. For example, if the last bet was ten dollars, then the "raise" must be at least twenty.
2. Fixed betting limit. Here all bets have their own specific size. This option is ideal for beginners in poker, but the "flop" in this game will meet often enough. The first two rounds of trades assume that "raises" and "beta" will not be more than a small bet. In the remaining rounds, you can raise only by the amount of the big bet. It is also worth considering that the bets can be made no more than three times per round.

With these rules in mind, different strategies are used that lead players to win. Therefore, it is worth to carefully consider the choice of strategy, when you choose this or that way of playing.
