| 1 - THE BASIC |
Hold'em poker is played with a standard 52 card deck. What makes Hold'em stand out from many other card games is the use of five community cards - cards dealt face up on the table that all players share. Each player also receives two face-down cards each - hole or pocket cards. These two cards make up your starting hand.
A round of poker starts with every player being dealt their two hole cards. The winner is the player that at the end, after several betting rounds, can use his hole cards together with the five community cards and make the best ranked five card poker hand.
