Overview
Texas Hold’em combines private and community cards. Player-versus-player poker differs from dealer-banked table variants; similar names do not guarantee identical rules.
The shape of a round
In the common format, players receive two private cards and see up to five community cards. A five-card combination is evaluated from eligible cards. The stages are called flop, turn and river.
Equipment
Cards, a table layout and variant-specific dealing equipment.
Common terminology
Hole cards are private cards. Community cards are shared. Showdown is the final comparison.
