Texas Holdem is the most popular poker game in the world, and is a favourite of many players in Uzbekistan. It’s the perfect game for beginners as well as experienced players, and the rules are easy to learn.
In Texas Holdem, each player is dealt two cards face down. This is known as the ‘hole cards’. Then, five community cards are dealt face up in the centre of the table. This is known as the ‘board’. Players must use their two hole cards and the five board cards to make the best possible five card poker hand.
Players can either ‘call’, ‘raise’, ‘check’ or ‘fold’ in the different betting rounds. The bet size increases in each betting round, and players can opt to ‘fold’ when they think their hand isn’t strong enough.
When all the betting is done, the remaining players ‘showdown’ their hand and the best five card hand takes the pot.
