The Basic Rules of Texas Holdem Poker

posted on 16 Mar 2008 by The Bodog Poker Blogger.

The basic rules of Texas Holdem are actually quite simple. Each player is dealt two cards face down, these are called pocket cards. The dealer then deals five community cards face up. These cards are open to all players to make their hand.

Players can use any combination of their pocket cards and the community cards to make their hand. The best five-card hand takes the pot. Of course, Texas Holdem poker can get a little more complicated than this when money is involved.

Bodog poker offers players three different options for game types: Fixed Limit, Pot Limit, and No Limit. The game type selected allows the player to control their bet minimums and maximums for that game.
