Poker is
the name given to a number
of card games where players
wager on the strength of the
cards they hold. Poker is a
game that involves a
communal "pot" consisting of
the players' wagers which is
awarded to the poker player
who either holds the highest
ranking hand or makes a
wager which goes unmatched
by his or her opponents.
At
PokerStars, our Seven Card
Stud and Omaha poker games
are played in both
"high-only" and "high-low
split" form. In these
high-low games, the best
five-card poker hand for
high wins half the pot, and
the best qualifying
five-card hand for low wins
the other half. Our Texas
Hold'em poker games are
always played high-only with
a No Limit, Pot Limit and
Limit option.
All poker
games begin with some forced
wager over which poker
players compete. In Seven
Card Stud, there are two
forced wagers, an ante and a
bring-in. In Texas Hold'em
and Omaha, the forced wagers
are a small blind and a big
blind. In any basic poker
game, players strategically
wager using a number of
actions available to them.
The actions are as follows:
-
CHECK - If there
is no wager on the
current betting round, a
player may check. The
act of checking passes
the action to the next
poker player immediately
clockwise from him or
her. A check does not
forfeit interest in the
pot, only the current
right to bet. If all
players check during a
round of betting, the
round is considered
complete.
-
BET
- If there is no wager
on the current betting
round, a player may bet.
If a player bets, the
poker player immediately
clockwise from him or
her (and any subsequent
poker players) may fold,
raise, or call.
-
FOLD - The act of
folding forfeits all
interest in the pot. A
player who folds is not
required or allowed to
wager any further money
for the current poker
game.
-
CALL - If there
has been a wager on the
current round of poker
play, a player may call.
The act of calling
requires the player to
match the current bet
made by his or her
opponent(s).
-
RAISE - If there
has been a wager on the
current betting round, a
player may raise. The
act of raising requires
the poker player to
match the current bet,
and make a greater one.
All subsequent players
are required to call the
raise or raise again
("re-raise") to maintain
interest in the pot.
On each
betting round, betting
continues until the person
immediately counterclockwise
the last bettor or raiser
acts. When this person acts,
the next poker round begins,
or the hand is complete.
When the
last bet or raise on the
final betting round is
called, the "showdown"
occurs. This is when it is
determined who wins the pot,
as players show their hands
one-by-one. It may be the
case that there is no
showdown. This occurs when a
player bets or raises, and
no active players choose to
call the player's bet (in
other words, all players
fold). In this case, the
player doing the betting or
raising wins the full amount
of the pot.
Basic
Poker Play: Table Stakes and
All-In
Basic
poker play is typically
played "table stakes",
meaning only the chips in
play at the beginning of
each hand may be used
throughout the hand. The
table stakes rule has an
application called the
"All-In" rule, which states
that a player cannot be
forced to forfeit a poker
hand because the player does
not have enough chips to
call a bet. A player who
does not have enough chips
to call a bet is declared
All-In. The player is
eligible for the portion of
the pot to the point of his
final wager. All further
action involving other
players takes place in a
"side pot", which is
ineligible to the All-In
player
Rules
for Texas Hold 'em
Poker
|
|
|
Texas Hold 'em ( Texas
Holdem) is the primary version of Poker
played in many casinos, and it's the version
seen on television shows like the Travel
Channel's World Poker Tour and ESPN's World
Series of Poker.
These are the basic rules for Texas Hold 'em
Poker.
The Shuffle, The Deal and The Blinds
The dealer shuffles a standard 52-card deck.
(In casinos, the dealer never plays. A round
disc -- known as a "dealer button" -- moves
clockwise from player to player with each
hand. The button marks which player would be
the dealer if the deal were advanced from
player to player as the game went along.)
Most Texas Hold 'em Poker games start with
the two players to the left of the dealer
(the button) putting a predetermined amount
of money into the pot before any cards are
dealt, ensuring that there's something to
play for on every hand. This is called
"posting the blinds." Most often, the "first
blind" -- the player to the left of the
dealer -- puts up half the minimum bet, and
the "second blind" puts up the full minimum
bet.
Each player is dealt two cards, face down.
These are known as the "hole cards."
Betting Begins
A round of betting takes place, beginning
with the player to the left of the two who
posted the blinds. Players can call, raise,
or fold when it's their turn to bet.
The Flop
After the first betting round, the dealer
discards the top card of the deck. This is
called burning the card and is done to
ensure that no one accidentally saw the top
card, and to help prevent cheating.
The dealer then flips the next three cards
face up on the table. These cards are called
the "flop."
NOTE: Eventually, a total of five community
cards will be placed face up on the table.
Players can use any combination of the
community cards and their own two hole cards
to form the best possible five-card Poker
hand.
After the flop, another round of betting
takes place, beginning with the player to
the left of the dealer (the button). During
this and all future rounds of betting,
players can check, call, raise, or fold when
it's their turn to bet.
Fourth Street
The dealer burns another card and plays one
more face up onto the table. This, the
fourth community card, is called the "turn"
or "Fourth Street."
The player to the left of the dealer (the
button) begins the third round of betting.
Fifth Street
The dealer burns another card before placing
the final face-up card on the table. This
card is called the "river" or "Fifth
Street."
Final Betting and The Winner
Players can now use any combination of seven
cards -- the five community cards and the
two hole cards known only to them -- to form
the best possible five-card Poker hand.
The fourth and final round of betting starts
with the player to the left of the dealer
(the button).
After the final betting round, all players
who remain in the game reveal their hands.
The player who made the initial bet or the
player who made the last raise shows their
hand first.
The player with the best hand wins.
