Learn how to play No Limit Hold’em — rules, strategy, and tips.
Texas Hold’em is one of the most popular poker games, where strategy and psychological warfare play a crucial role.
Each player is dealt two private cards (known as hole cards), and five community cards are revealed on the table. The goal is to make the best possible five-card hand using any combination of the seven cards available.
基本規則
In Texas Hold’em, the game proceeds based on the position of the dealer button, which moves one seat clockwise after each hand.The two players to the left of the button post the Small Blind (SB) and Big Blind (BB), respectively.
Once the blinds are posted, each player is dealt two private hole cards face down.
Betting Rounds
There are four betting rounds in total in Texas Hold’em.
Pre-Flop
Players receive hole cards and the first betting round begins.
Flop
Three community cards are revealed, followed by betting.
Turn
A fourth community card is dealt, leading to the third round.
River
The final card is revealed, leading to the last round of betting.
Betting Options
Each player can choose one of the following on their turn:
Check – Pass the action without betting.
Bet – Place the first chips into the pot.
Call – Match the current bet.
Raise – Increase the current bet.
Fold – Give up your hand and the pot.
Pre-Flop: Action starts left of the Big Blind.
Post-Flop: Action starts with the Small Blind or next active player.
Showdown
The showdown occurs when two or more players remain after the final betting round. The player who made the last bet or raise reveals their hand first. The remaining players then reveal their hands in turn or may choose to fold without showing.
Each player makes the best possible five-card hand using any combination of their two hole cards and the five community cards. The player with the strongest hand wins the pot. If two or more players have identical hands, the pot is split evenly.
Use your position: Acting later in the betting order—especially on the Button (BTN)—gives you more information and control.
Choose your hand carefully: Strong starting hands during the Pre-Flop can greatly improve your odds of winning.
Observe your opponents: Spot patterns, read behavior, and use strategic aggression or bluffs to gain an edge.
Protect your chips: Don’t bet recklessly—adjust your strategy to the situation and play with purpose.
