These pokers rule explains the most popular poker variant, Texas Hold´em:
Hold’em describes all those play variants, with which five open cards, also so called Community Cards, in the middle of the table are put down. These cards can be used then from each individual player to the formation of its poker hand and each player may thereby any more than two of its hand cards, thus the pocket Cards or do not get Cards, to use.

Start of the play:
At the beginning of the play all players receive one card each. The player, who possesses the highest card, gets the Dealer button and divides as the first the cards out. If two players should receive the same card, the ranking of the colors decides. These arrange themselves as follows: Spades, heart, Karo, cross.

The player to the left of the card giver must an employment agreed upon before, which ‘Small Blind’, the Dealer ‘the Big Blind’. Here generally simply the Small blind is doubled. All other players must carry out still no basic employment, before they received their first cards.

The Dealer changes to each play in the clockwise direction. The player with the Small blind receives with distribute of the cards first and afterwards only the others per a card. As soon as all players possess a card, a so called Burn card is covered aside put. This happens also, if he presents the flop, turn and the river cards. Afterwards in the same order one further card expenditure each at each player divides will exactly. Thus now all players kept their hand cards covered.

After now everyone has its cards, the player with the Small blind starts the first employment round. It can decide between to go along (checks), increases (raise) or steps out (fold). The remaining players proceed in the same way. A player may increase however in the same round not twice in consequence, with exception another the employment in the meantime increased. If the first employment round is terminated, the Dealer puts to three open cards on the table. These three called flop. Thereupon the second employment round follows. This takes place in the same way, as first. Now the card giver puts the fourth community card into the table middle, which is called turn. Afterwards the third employment round follows. Now the Dealer last puts still the fifth community card openly into the middle. This last open card is called river. This is followed by the fourth and thus also last employment round for this play.

The preceded rounds did not consider a thing. What however is the case, if a player has more certain money remaining and for a call the double to only bring had? In this situation it sets its entire remaining money and goes ‘All in’. For all other players everything continues normally. Of course that player, who set its remaining money, can not win the employments of the fellow players, who exceed its. For this reason with the additional employments by the other players a so called ‘Side Pot’ is opened. With the fourth and last employment round it is then looked who won the normal Pot and at the same time in addition, who the remaining players, except ‘All in’ players, whom ‘Side Pot’ wins. Here it can be that these two Pots are won of the same player or in addition, by two different.

If the last employment round is terminated, it comes to the large conclusion of the play. Here each player must together-form the best Poker sheet from all five cards together. These places to everyone from its two covers received hand cards and from three of the five open table cards together. The remaining two maps do not play a role for the profit decision.
