Poker comes in many different varieties. One popular variety that can be found at many online casinos is Texas Hold ‘Em. This variation is quite easy to learn.
The game of Texas Hold ‘Em commences with two bets known as blinds being made. The player to the left of the dealer will post a small blind and the person beside him will post the big blind. All players must then put in the same wager as the big blind in order to remain in that hand.
The dealer then gives every player two face down cards known as the hole. Another round of betting follows the dealing of the hole. This round of betting is known as the pre-flop betting. Basically, players are deciding if their hole hand is worth sticking in the game to see the flop. The flop occurs when the three community cards are dealt face up on the table. This is a pivotal moment in Texas Hold ‘Em as players will have the most cards revealed to them at one time.
After the flop occurs, players then make another round of wagers. After betting ends, one more community card is revealed on the table. This event in the game of Texas Hold ‘Em is known as the turn. More betting continues at this point. After which the fifth and final community card is shown. This event in the game of Texas Hold ‘Em poker is called the river. Some many call it the fifth street but the term river is much more popular. At this point the fifth and last round of betting happens. After betting, there is a showdown where the players still in the game reveal their best five card poker hand. The same poker rankings apply.

I happened to be reading an interview with a guy in Poker player, who believes that the way to attract sponsors to Poker, is to enforce a dress code, which includes wearing long pants and a shirt with a collar. That is one of the most ridiculous statements I ever read. I ALWAYS play in short pants and a t shirt or a swear shirt, and own very few shirts with a collar. My friend tuna always wears a t-shirt. I rarely see Kathy L. in anything but a sweatshirt. There are many others who dress as I do, and most of them look fine. There are many other more important ways to attract sponsors, rather then try to enforce some silly dress code. Every Day I see men who wear ties, and I wonder what the function of a tie is, other then to make you feel uncomfortable. Who ever heard of dressed up Hippy anyway?
Just a question. In hold’em players are blinded out if they are gone too long from a table. How is that done in seven card stud?
I am a lower limit player (3-6)…what casinos offer the best low limit play??? i.e… Low rake, low seat rental??
