How Texas Hold’em works
The hand proceeds through pre-flop, flop, turn and river betting rounds. At each stage, a player can use both hole cards, one, or neither to make the best five-card hand. Tournament, cash-game and casino-versus-dealer versions have different structures, so identify the format before reading the table rules.
