    HOW TO PLAY:

    So you're new to Texas Holdem poker? Not a problem. Texas Holdem poker is by far the best game for a beginner to learn. Instead of other poker games like Omaha High or 7 card stud which entail a great many more possibilities for calculating odds and perhaps even trying to count cards, Texas Hold em can be learned in a few minutes by anyone, and you can be playing fairly well with a few hours practice. In order to learn the game, however, you must play and you must play fairly often.

    One poker room, DuplicatePoker, offers a wide variety of play money tables for beginners to practice their skills until they're ready to move up to the fun at real money tables. We recommend this card room to new players, as this site is one of the fastest growing new cardrooms (and full of other new players!)

    A Texas Hold'em poker game goes as follows:

       1. The betting structure can vary. Sometimes antes are used, but most games start with two players to the left of the dealer placing out a predetermined amount of money so there is an initial amount to get things started. This is called posting the blinds. Check out our page on blinds and antes.

       2. The dealer shuffles up a standard deck of 52 playing cards.

       3. Each player is dealt two cards face down. These are called your hole or pocket cards.

       4. Then there is a round of betting starting with the guy to the left of the two who posted the blinds. This round is usually referred to by the term pre-flop.

       5. The amount a player can bet depends on what kind of game it is. (Check out our page on betting structures)

       6. Much like most games of poker, players can call, raise, or fold.

       7. After the betting round ends, the dealer discards the top card of the deck. This is called a burn card. This is done to prevent cheating.

       8. The dealer then flips the next three cards face up on the table. These cards are called the flop. These are communal cards that anyone can use in combination with their two pocket cards to form a poker hand.

       9. There is another round of betting starting with the player to the left of the dealer.

      10. After the betting concludes, the dealer burns another card and flips one more onto the table. This is called the turn card. Players can use this sixth card now to form a five card poker hand.

      11. The player to the left of the dealer begins another round of betting. In many types of games, this is where the bet size doubles.

      12. Finally, the dealer burns a card and places a final card face up on the table. This is called the river. Players can now use any of the five cards on the table or the two cards in their pocket to form a five card poker hand.

      13. There is one final round of betting starting with the player to the left of the dealer.

      14. After that, all of the players remaining in the game begin to reveal their hands. This begins with the player to the left of the last player to call. It's called the showdown. Players use a combination of their pocket cards and the community cards to form a poker hand. For more about that, go to our forming a five card hand page.

      15. The player who shows the best hand wins! There are cases where players with equal hands share the winnings. Go to our page about split pots for more info about who wins.

    Once you understand this basic structure of the game, you can play texas hold 'em and even some of the many texas holdem variants out there. Texas Hold em is an easy game to learn, just difficult to master. The "mastering" part is the costly part, especially in the traditional setting of a casino poker room. Thankfully, you can practice all you want for free in online poker rooms.

    The only way to learn the game is to play. Check out DuplicatePoker to get a feel for the action. Play all you want for free, and start playing for real money as soon as you feel ready. They have both low limits for newer players as well as high stakes tables.

  6. i personally like to play egyptian rat s***w its fun and exciting but only meant for two to three people and lasts very long the rules are break the deck evenly into the both or all three of you do not look at your cards leave them face down in your hand take turns putting down one card each in the middle the object of the game is to have all the cards in your hand now as your each taking turns putting one card at a time in the center look at the cards as they go down if one of the cards they put down is a jack the other person has only one chance to put a card down without looking at your deck and that card has to be a queen king jack or ace if it is none of those who ever put down that jack gets all the cards that are in the middle the same goes for queen king and ace if there is a queen the person has two chances to put down either one of those as well if it is a king the person has three chances and if it is a ace the person has four chances but thats not all while your putting down cards in the middle watch for any pairs such as two threes ect. if you see a pair slap the deck who ever slaps it first gets the cards also as you are putting down cards watch for a sandwich for example while your putting down cards and you see a three then the other person puts down a card and its nothing then you put down a card and if its a three slap the deck and thats a sandwich then if you slap it first you get the deck

    i hope you understand these rules have fun!!!!
