There can be a minimum of two players and a maximum of eight players in Texas Hold’em. The first player is always the dealer. The game progresses clockwise around the table, with each betting round starting with the first player (the dealer) and ending with the player on the dealer’s immediate right.
There are four rounds of betting in Texas Hold’em, including when playing on online sites like Betway Casino Zambia. Players perform all the actions in the betting rounds.
Called the Pre-Flop, the first betting round occurs before the dealer reveals the initial three community cards. The player to the left of the dealer is the first player to act in this betting round. This player places the small blind on the table. The small blind is a bet of a certain amount. The player on the left of the small blind player places the big blind. The amount of the big blind must be double that of the small blind.
After placing the small and big blinds, the dealer gives two face-down cards, called hole cards, to every player. That player can either call, raise, or fold. The betting round continues clockwise, with each player performing any of the three actions. The betting round ends with the big blind player. At the end of the round, the dealer collects all the bets and puts them in the pot.
During this round, the dealer places the first three community cards face-up on the table. Known as the Flop, these shared cards help players build their poker hands, unlike the face-down hole cards.
After the Flop is dealt, the second betting round begins. The player on the left is the active player (an active player is any player who is performing an act at the moment), and this round of betting begins with that player and ends with the dealer. A player may either check or bet (call or raise) or fold or go all-in in this round. If a player checks, then that player must act at the end of the round. If that happens then, the round will end with that player.
Again, the dealer collects all the bets of this round and puts them in the pot. Another round of betting follows this round.
The fourth community card, known as the Turn, is dealt face-up during the third betting round. The player sitting immediately left of the dealer starts the action. This round continues like the previous rounds, with the players either betting, checking, holding, or going all-in.
The dealer collects all the bets at the end of this round and places them in the pot before beginning another betting round.
The fourth betting round is the final betting round in Texas Holdem. It begins with dealing with the fifth community card. This round progresses just like the previous round.
There are no placing bets in this round. Here, each player must reveal the hand of two hole cards. There are five comm cards on the table, and each player will add any three of the five community cards to the two-hole cards to make the best possible five-card poker hand. Every player’s hand is compared with the other players’ hands, and the best five-card hand wins the pot.
If two players in a Texas Hold’em game have the same card combination, then the high card will come into play. The card with the highest value in each hand will be compared, and whoever’s hand has the card with the higher hand value will win.
Example:
Two players have the same high-ranked hand after the showdown. Player 1 has 6,6,10,10, and Q. Player 2 has a hand that shows 6,6,10, 10 and 4. Both of the players have a Two Pair combination. Other players have hand ranks that are lower than this. Each card in Player 1’s hand is compared with the corresponding card in Player 2’s hand. Player 1 has the best hand in this scenario because of the 5th card (Queen is higher than 4). Player one is the winner.
The card that determines the winner in case of a tie is called a kicker card.
A player will win at Texas Hold’em if all the other players have folded. It would not matter what hand that player had.
