Texas Hold’em is one of the most dramatic and popular variations of poker in the world with a wide variety of strategies. Texas Hold’em typically accommodates up to 10 players, but here you play against the dealer.
Objective
The objective of the game is to beat the Dealer’s hand by getting the best possible five-card hand using the two cards you are dealt and the five community cards.
Cards
Texas Hold’em is played with a standard 52-card deck. Cards are shuffled after each round.
The individual cards are ranked in the following descending order: Ace, King, Queen, Jack, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3 and 2. There is no ranking between the suits – so, for example, the King of hearts and the King of spades are equal.
A poker hand consists of five cards. Any hand of a higher category will beat any hand of a lower category (for example, any Three of a Kind will beat any Two Pairs). If there is a tie between hands in the same category, the rank of the individual cards will determine the winner. If the highest ranking individual cards are equal, the second highest individual cards, are compared, and if these are equal too, the lowest individual cards are compared. For example, J-J-A-9-3 beats J-J-A-8-7 because the 9 beats the 8.

- Check – by clicking CHECK you continue playing, the 5th card will be dealt without any additional bet being placed.
