How to play Texas Hold'em Poker:
- The 2 players to the left of the dealer must post the small blind and large blind. (A blind is when you must put into the pot before looking at your cards.)
- When the blind bets are complete, the dealer will give each player 2 cards face down.
- Then there is a round of betting.
- Once bets are completed the dealer will deal 3 cards face up (the 'flop'). These cards are 'shared' by all players at the table.
- Then there is another round of betting.
- Then a fourth card is dealt face up in the middle. (the 'turn')
- Then there is another round of betting.
- After the bets a fifth card is placed face up on the table. (the 'river')
- Then there is the final round of betting.
- Players show their hands, and the one with the highest hand wins the pot.
