Texas Holdem Poker - Official poker rules 


At the start of the game of Texas Hold'em poker, the dealer mixes a standard deck of 52 cards. In casinos and lounges playing cards, the dealer does not play. However, when the lack of dealers or home games, players can be themselves in the games dealers. In games where the dealers are

themselves players, the dealer changes each hand in a clockwise direction. In games with the dealer, a round disc called the Dealer Button "is moving clockwise from one player to another, on each hand. Button indicates which player will be the dealer if the game is self-dealer.

The button previously called "Buck" after a large knife used for this purpose, and is the origin of the phrase "knife stops here."

Blinds

In Texas Hold'em poker game no antes to be mandatory for all players, instead of this, there are two forced bets called Blinds. Games start by putting a predetermined amount of money (the Blinds) into the pot before any cards are dealt, two players left by the so-called dealer or dealer (button), thus ensuring that there is something to be played each hand. In tournaments, this amount increases after a temporal scheme, to ensure the elimination of players.

Most often, the small blind (player to the left of the dealer) puts half the minimum bet, and the player left to the big blind put full minimum bet. This is called "posting the blinds."

Deal

Each player is dealt two cards, face down (Hole Cards). Their value should be kept secret, and usually this is done by covering the books with one hand while you turn up every corner of their own. Hole Cards must stay on the table, but may be lifted for a moment by the player, to ensure that it has seen better. Then back up on the table and can be accessed at any time during a hand, but only by the player whom they were dealt.

Game goal is to combine these two cards with five cards that will eventually be placed in front of the dealer ("Board") to make the best poker books band (see "Hand Rank")between players. This band may consist of two books and three books Locked Board, a closed book and four Board or - very rarely - none of the books closed, but only those of the Board. The owner of this band card hand wins the pot (all of which have raised the stakes).

First Round Betting

This takes place immediately after the deal. First in line is the player to the left of the Big Blind. In games that are not part of a tour, you can choose to be a third Blind by placing a bet against the big double blind before cards are dealt. This bet is known as the Straddle. The advantage of this for one who places a Straddle is that in the first round of betting is the last in a row, allowing it to take into account the stakes of all the other players.

The first in a row (on the immediate left of the Big Blind or Straddler's) has three options: call, raise or quitting.

To call, the player places a bet equal to the Big Blind or Straddle.

To raise, the player adds an extra amount. This amount varies with the type size that game: in limit games, this is a fixed amount and may be limited (capped) by a fixed number of rounds, usually four online in Pot Limit games, it can not be greater than the amount then in May, in no limit, it can be any amount, limited only by the number of chips in front of each player.

To fold, the player puts his cards face down in front of him, and push them towards the middle, where they constitute the muck. When a book touches the muck, is considered to be removed from the game. That player can not take part in hand and he put the stakes are lost.

Players will have the same three options, plus the option to re-raise (or re-re-raise). A re-raise must be at least equal to the size of last raise.

Flop
After the first round of betting, the dealer discards the top card deck. This is called burning (burning), and is made to ensure that no one accidentally saw the top card and help prevent cheating. Burned paper is placed over the flop, under the following open book, or in muck.

The dealer then places the next three cards face up on the table. These cards are called flop.

A second round of betting

This round and all subsequent rounds start with the first remaining player left of the dealer's hand respectiva.Pe next call, raise or re-raise, players now have the option to check (step) - remains in the hand without gear, until it comes turn again.

Once you bet, a player may choose to call or raise to that amount (or re-raise when appropriate). If he does not choose anything, you give up your hand. Thus, at the end of the round, all players will have put an amount equal stakes, except when a player has an inadequate amount of chips in front of him, in this case, he can bet all the chips you have (All-In ) and set up one or more additional pots, limiting the amount they can earn an accumulation of equal amounts of the main pot from players who have contributed to the pot.
The Turn (Fourth Street and said)
After the completion of two rounds of betting, a card is burned (discarded) and the next card is exposed and added to the Board. This book is your turn.
A third round of betting
In limit games, the amount doubles and remains fixed at that amount for the final round of betting.
The river (also called Fifth Street)
After completion of the third round of betting another card is burned and the fifth and final community card is exposed and added to the Board. This is the River card.
The fourth first round of betting
This precedes the show's Down, called the race when the player must show cards.
If two or more players have the same band of books, the next highest band book player (kicker) is used to break the gender. If there is no kicker card (the tied players have used the books closed, or aceleeasi hand), the pot is divided between them.
Players wishing to play Board (based on five exposed cards to make the best hand) must announce that they do their thing before throwing books, otherwise they relinquish all claims to the pot .

Dealer Mistakes
If the first Hole Card is exposed, there is a mistake of the deal. The dealer will retrieve the book, again briefly and recut the cards.
If any other Hole Card is exposed due to a mistake by the dealer, the deal continues.Exposed card can not be retained. After completing the hand, the dealer replaces the card with the top card packet, and then the exposed card is used Burnt Paper. If you are exposed to more than a closed book, we have a mistake and should redealt sharing books.
If the flop contains too many cards, it redealt (this applies even if it were possible to know which book was longer.)
If the flop needs to be redistributed because the flop cards have been given prematurely, before completion of betting, or flop contains too many books, board books are mixed with the rest of the package. The book remains on the table burned.After mixing, the dealer cut the cards and dealt a new flop without burning a card.
If the dealer turns the fourth card on the board before closing the betting round, the book is considered removed from the game in that round, even if subsequent players elect to forfeteze hand. The betting is then completed. The dealer burns and turns what would have been the fifth card in place of the fourth book. After this round of betting, the dealer again briefly package, including the card that was removed from the game, but not including the books burned or discarded. The dealer then cuts the deck and turns the final card without burning a card. If the fifth card is turned up prematurely, the deck is reshuffled and divided the same way.
If the dealer gives the first player missed an extra card (after all players have received first band), the book will be returned to the deck and used the book burned. If the dealer mistakenly shared more than one extra card, we mistake the deal.
