> Texas Holdem Poker Secrets

The main feature of shared games is the community cards, which are common for all players at the table. To form their hands all players can use these community cards. 2 cards are dealt face down to each player in Texas Holdem. 5 down cards dealt on the table are called community cards. A round of betting is held after the deal and three of the table cards are turned up. Another round of betting follows. One more table card is flipped, followed by another round of betting. The last card is flipped, a final round if betting ensues, and finally a showdown in which players make their best hands using their two pocket cards and the table's five shared cards. The player who has formed the best hand is the winner.
