Texas Hold’em Poker Rules
Whether you’re new to the game or just need a refresher, here’s a quick rundown of what you need to know to play Texas Hold’em poker online.
The Deal
Every player receives two cards face-down. The player to the dealer’s left has to put in a small bet known as the small blind, with the player to their left putting in a larger forced bet called the big blind.
Pre-Flop
Each player must either match the amount of the big blind, raise the bet, or fold. As with every betting round, this one ends once every player has either put the same amount of chips in the pot, or if every player but one has folded.
The Flop
The dealer places three community cards face-up in the middle, for all players to use. Players now have five cards to make a traditional poker hand (their two hole cards plus three community cards), and may bet on the strength of their hand in a second betting round.
The Turn
A fourth community card is placed face-up, so players now have six cards from which to create their best five-card poker hand. A third betting round takes place.
The River
A fifth and final community card is placed face-up, giving all remaining players seven cards to use in making their strongest poker hand, and the final round of betting occurs.

If you think all that sounds easy…you’re not wrong! Texas Hold’em is a game that’s quick to learn, and you don’t need a ton of experience, a misspent youth or a mathematics degree to become a winner.
However, one thing that separates poker from most of the other games you might find in a casino is that it’s a game of skill. The more you practice and the better you understand the game, the better your results are likely to be.
