Texas Hold'em is one of the most popular online poker games and is fairly straight forward and easy to get to grips with. It's basically played with a dealer giving each player 2 cards placed face down and dealing 5 communal cards which are placed face up in the centre of the table. A number of betting rounds are played throughout the game. At the end, the players can use any combination of their 2 cards and the 5 communal cards to play the best 5 cards they can and the best hand wins the pot.
