Texas
Hold'em Rule
In
Texas Hold'em, poker players receive two down cards as their personal hand (hole
cards), after which there is a round of betting. Three board cards are turned
simultaneously (called the “flop”) and another round of betting occurs.
The next two board cards are turned one at a time, with a round of betting after
each card. The board cards are community cards, and a player may use any five-card
combination from among the board and personal cards. A player may even use all
of the board cards and no personal cards to form a hand (play the board). A poker
dealer button is used. The usual structure is to use two blinds, but it is possible
to play the Texas Hold'em game with one blind, multiple blinds, an ante, or combination
of blinds plus an ante. Object
of Texas Hold'em Poker Game: The best possible five card poker hand, using any
combination of hole cards and community cards, wins the pot.

Rules
1. If
the first hole card dealt is exposed, a misdeal results. The poker dealer will
retrieve the card, reshuffle, and re cut the cards. If any other hole card is
exposed due to a dealer error, the deal continues. The exposed card may not be
kept. After completing the hand, the dealer replaces the card with the top card
on the deck, and the exposed card is then used for the burn card. If more than
one hole card is exposed, this is a misdeal and there must be a re deal. 2.
If the flop contains too many cards, it must be re dealt. (This applies even if
it were possible to know which card was the extra one.) 3.
If the flop needs to be re dealt because the cards were prematurely flopped before
the betting was complete, or the flop contained too many cards, the board cards
are mixed with the remainder of the deck. The burn card remains on the table.
After shuffling, the dealer cuts the deck and deals a new flop without burning
a card. 4.
If the poker dealer turns the fourth card on the board before the betting round
is complete, the card is taken out of play for that round, even if subsequent
players elect to fold. The betting is then completed. The dealer burns and turns
what would have been the fifth card in the fourth card’s place. After this
round of betting, the dealer reshuffles the deck, including the card that was
taken out of play, but not including the burn cards or discards. The dealer then
cuts the deck and turns the final card without burning a card. If the fifth card
is turned up prematurely, the deck is reshuffled and dealt in the same manner.
5.
If the poker dealer mistakenly deals the first player an extra card (after all
players have received their starting hands), the card will be returned to the
deck and used for the burn card. If the dealer mistakenly deals more than one
extra card, it is a misdeal. 6.
You must declare that you are playing the board before you throw your cards away,
otherwise you relinquish all claim to the pot. |
