In texas hold’em, the initial step is to get the card game started, and for this the players put out a certain sum of cash. ‘Posting the blinds’ is the frequently used saying for this play. In the next step, the dealer shuffles the deck of cards and gives out two cards face down to all players. A normal deck of 52 playing cards is used. Then there is the first sequence of betting. This sequence is usually referred to as a "pre-flop".

After the first betting round, the first card is thrown away. This discarded card is known as the "burn card", and this is done to guarantee that there is no treachery. The following 3 cards are then flipped face up on the poker table. These cards are ‘the flop’. Now follows a second round of wagering, after that the croupier burns an additional card and flips 1 more card onto the table. After this, competitors can utilize the sixth card to create a five-card poker hand.

Another round of betting happens, and in a good many styles of games, here is where the wager size increases. There is an additional round of tossing aside a card, and a final placing of a card face-up on the table. This is referred to as the "river". Gamblers can now utilize any of the 5 cards on the board, and/or the 2 cards in their pocket, to form a five-card poker hand.

To wrap it up there is a further round of wagering. Then, all the players remaining start to reveal their hands. This is referred to as the "showdown". Obviously, the competitor who holds the highest hand is the winner. When players have even hands a sharing of the pot is used.
