How To Deal Texas Hold'em 


To start a new hand two "Blind" bets are put up or "Posted." The player immediately to the left of the dealer puts up or "posts" the small blind of one dollar which is half the minimum bet for this $2/4 game. The player to the left of the small blind posts the big blind which is equal to the minimum bet, which is two dollars for this game. The rest of the players do not put up any money to start the hand. Because the deal rotates around the table, each player will eventually act as the big blind, small blind and dealer.

Each player is dealt two cards face down with the player on the small blind receiving the first card and the player with the dealer button getting the last card. The first betting round begins with the player to the left of the big blind either putting in two dollars to "Call" the blind bet, or putting in four dollars to "raise" the big blind or folding his hand. The betting goes around the table in order until it reaches the player who posted the small blind. That player can call the bet by putting in one dollar since a dollar blind was already posted. The last person to act is the big blind. If no one has raised, the dealer will ask if they would like the option. This means the big blind has the option to raise or just "check."


After the first betting round is completed, three cards are dealt and turned face up in the middle of the table. This is known as the "Flop." These are community cards used by all the players. Another betting round begins with the first active player to the left of the dealer button. The minimum bet for this round is again two dollars.

When the betting round after the flop is completed, the dealer turns a fourth card face up in the middle of the table. This is referred to as the "Turn." The minimum bet after the turn is now four dollars and begins again with the first active player to the left of the dealer.

Following the betting round for the turn, the dealer will turn a fifth and final card face up. This is called the "river," and the final betting round begins.

.
To determine the winner, the players may use any combination of their two hole cards and the five cards on the "Board" (Table) to form the highest five-card hand. A sixth card is never used to break a tie. If two players tie the pot is split.
.
The dealer will push the pot to the winner. The dealer button will move clockwise and the play will be repeated.
