Poker: The Complete Guide To Poker – Learn Strategies To Dominate Poker And Texas Hold’em

Handling your cards:
If you have folded your cards do not
attempt to take them back once you have
discarded them to the main pile; even if
it is at the end of the game.

---

Act in turn:
Do not bet call raise or fold unless it is
your turn. As any action you take out of
turn may actually give an undue
advantage to one or more players.

---

Avoid discussing hands in
play:
Discussing a hand with others even if
you may have folded may provide
information to existing player and may
give an undue advantage to some so
avoid discussing the hand while it is still
in play.

Chapter 4: Texas Hold’em:
In Hold’em the game begins with each
player being dealt two cards face down.
The two players to the left of the dealer
are the players who need to post the
compulsory small blind and big blind.
The rest have an option to check or bet.
A small circular disc that keeps moving
after every game marks the position of
the dealer. This ensures that all players
are evenly getting the forced bet.
Once the betting has been completed that
is all others have checked or if someone
has bet and the rest have called the bet
and all have placed equal amount of
chips in the pot or folded. The next set of

---

cards are dealt, These three cards are
generally called the flop and are placed
face up and can be used as common
cards in addition to the two cards held
by every player. Once the three cards are
dealt the next round of betting begins.
Again when all players have either
checked or matched any player bet the
fourth card is placed face up on the
table, this is the turn card. Post this one
more round of betting progresses and the
fifth and final card or the river is placed
on the table.
So now every player still contesting for
the pot has 2 cards in his hand which
only he knows about and five face up
common cards which all can see and the

---

person with the best five card
combination will win the pot, that is
after a final round of betting takes place.
So technically that is all there is to Texas
hold-em, however things are never as
simple as they seem and this holds true
for Texas hold-em as well.
