The Holdem Hotel

Texas Hold'em Poker

Each player receives two hole cards that only they can see and use. Then, five community cards are dealt that everyone can see and use. Players can make their five card hand from their hole cards in combination with the community cards.

The game is split into four rounds of betting, and the betting moves clockwise around the table. Betting starts from the position next to the dealer button, which moves one place to the left after each hand.

Today, I am going to run down a series of starting hands and what you should think about doing when you get them. This list assumes that you are playing at a table with seven or more players and that you are somewhat new to the game of Poker.
