In hold’em, the first step is to get the card game started, and for this the players put out a set sum of money. ‘Posting the blinds’ is the frequently used phrase for this play. In the following step, the dealer shuffles the deck of cards and deals 2 cards face down to all players. A normal deck of 52 cards is used in the deal. Then there is the initial round of wagering. This round is typically known as a "pre-flop".

Following the 1st wagering round, the top card of the deck is thrown away. This thrown away card is referred to as the "burn card", and this is done to make sure that there is definitely no treachery. The following three cards are then flipped face up on the poker table. These cards are known as ‘the flop’. Now follows a second sequence of wagering, after which the croupier burns a further card and deals one more card onto the table. After this, players can employ the 6th card to create a 5card poker hand.

A further round of betting happens, and in a number of types of poker, here is where the wager amount doubles. There is an additional round of throwing away a card, and a last placing of a card face-up on the table. This is referred to as the "river". Gamblers can now employ any of the 5 cards on the board, or the two cards in their pocket, to create a five-card poker hand.

To wrap it up there is a further sequence of wagering. After that, all the players left begin to reveal their hands. This is called the "showdown". Clearly, the bettor who shows the highest hand is the winner. When competitors have tied hands a sharing of the winnings is considered.

Hold’em is a basic game to learn, but to acquire ability one needs a large amount of studying.
