Texas Hold ‘Em is a popular poker game option these days. It has a fairly
simple concept and players only need a basic understanding of the rules in
order to get involved in the game and start winning. If you are new to
Hold ‘Em, here are a few basic terms that you should understand.
Blinds:
Texas Hold ‘Em begins with blind bets, rather than an ante. The first two
players to the left of the dealer make blind bets prior to any cards being
dealt.
Burn:
Burn refers to the top card on the deck, which is discarded prior to
dealing to prevent cheating.
Button:
The nickname given to the dealer.
Pocket Cards:
The two cards that each player is dealt in Hold ‘Em. These cards are kept a
secret from the other players at the table and are sometimes referred to
as Hole Cards.
Check:
A player may skip his or her turn without calling or raising the current
bet. This is called a check.
Flop:
Flop refers to the act of the dealer displaying the first three
community cards on the table.
Pre-Flop:
Any action in Hold ‘Em that takes place before the flop is referred to as
pre-flop.
Fourth Street/Turn:
This term refers to the fourth community card that is dealt in in
a round.
Fifth Street/River:
This term refers to the fifth and final community card that is dealt
in a round.
Showdown:
A showdown is the way that the winner of Hold ‘Em is determined. The
showdown takes place when all of the players at the table reveal their
cards.
