Play online Poker

If you play poker online, then you must know how to play Texas Holdem.  Texas Holdem has been the most popular of the many poker games online.  To get into the poker online action is easy and fun.

Texas Holdem is a community card game.  That means that the online poker players around the table can share the five cards in the center of the table.  The dealer will deal each player two personal, or "hole" cards.  These are the only two poker cards that stay hidden and dictate how your strategy should develop.

Next, the poker dealer will deal three cards in the center of the table face up.  These are called the "The Flop" and the first round of betting follows.  Next, there is another card placed face up in the center of the table called "The Turn".  There is another round of betting that goes around to the players.  The fifth card is called "The River" and the last round of betting follows.

The winner of the hand has the best poker hand from any combination of the five community cards and two in hand.  If the best hand can be made from the community cards face up on the table, then the remaining players share the pot.

Of all the poker games you can play online, Texas Holdem has been making the biggest name for itself.  Find the best online casino for bonus and promotional offers to play free poker.  Use those codes and promotions to enter a Holdem tournament for free or re-buy into a game after a heavy hand.
