Texas Holdem is a variant of the card game of poker, suitable for both beginners and experienced players. It follows the standard rules, but accommodates up to nine players. The game begins with two mandatory bets, the ‘small blind’ and the ‘big blind’, and continues with each player receiving two hidden hole cards, followed by the first round of betting. After the betting is complete, three community cards, also known as the flop, are laid face-up and a betting round follows. Then the fourth community card, aka the turn, is laid face-up, followed by the final round of betting. Finally, the fifth community card, the river, is laid face-up and the last betting round ensues. After that, the players show their hole cards and the best 5-card hand wins the game.
When playing Texas Holdem on mobile, the same rules apply, with the use of the touch screen. Players receive their hole cards, as well as the community cards, on their device. They can then make use of the device’s various features, such as a fold button to fold their cards. In case of any confusion, there are online tutorials available to players, which can be referred to at any point during the game.
