Texas Hold'em

Discover how to play Texas Hold’em, use your cards, and build the best possible hand to win.

Updated today

The goal of Texas Hold'em is to form the best possible five-card poker hand by using a combination of two hole cards (dealt to the player) and five community cards (dealt face up on the table). Players can use all five community cards, no hole cards, or a mix of both to create their strongest hand.

  • Hole Cards: The two cards dealt to each player at the start.

  • Community Cards (Board Cards): The five cards dealt face-up on the table.

  • Players compete to form a higher-ranking hand than the others, with the winner being the player holding the best five-card hand according to traditional hand rankings.
