No Limit Texas Hold'em
"The Cadillac of Poker"


In No Limit Texas Hold'em any player can go "all in" - bet all the chips they have got - during any round of betting. Fortunes can be made in the blink of an eye. At the World Poker Tour final table, each pot can contain well in excess of a hundred thousand dollars, and the final winner may well take home over a million dollars!

How to play Texas No Limit Hold'em:

Hole Cards: The game begins with all the players receiving 2 cards face-down. Each player can only see his or her own cards.

Betting Round 1.

The Flop: the dealer lays 3 community cards face up on the center of the table. These are cards that the players can use with their own hand.

Betting Round 2.

The Turn: The dealer deals a fourth community card on the table.

Betting Round 3... the stakes grow...

The River: The dealer puts one final community card on the table.

Betting Round 4... the tension mounts...

The Showdown: The players show their hands, and the best hand (which is any 5-card combination of the player's cards and community cards) wins.

Dealer Button and Blinds
The dealer button is a white disc-shaped object that moves clockwise around the table each hand. The player to the left of the button has to post a "small blind,"- a required bet that is 1/2 the lower limit bet. The player to the left of this person has to post a "big blind" - a required bet which is equal to the lower limit bet. As the limits increase, the size of these bets also increases.

Betting
The betting is unlimited!
