Each player is dealt two face-down cards, which are called Hole Cards. There are three rounds of community cards. These are dealt face-up, for each player to use, with betting after each round. The best five-card hand using any combination of the five community cards and two hole cards wins. Each new hand begins with a small blind, a big blind, and a round of betting. All Texas Holdem Poker games include a Small Blind and Big Blind. These are forced bets, and are determined by the position of the button. These bets are considered live, and every player in the hand must either call the big blind, raise, or fold. The button moves clockwise around the table, giving each player a turn being the button, small blind, and big blind. Once the first round of betting is complete, the dealer then puts out the first three community cards, or The Flop. There is a round of betting. Then the dealer puts out the fourth community card or The Turn. There is a round of betting. The dealer then puts out the fifth community card or The River. There is a final round of betting. The Texas Holdem Poker is usually played for high only, each player making the best five-card combination to compete for the pot. Players usually use both their hole cards to make their best hand, but this is not required. A player may even choose to Play the Board and use no hole cards at all. Identical five-card hands split the pot; the sixth and seventh cards are not used to break ties.
