Texas Hold em poker is the most widely played version of poker in the world today. The main event at the World Series of Poker, which takes place every year in Las Vegas, is a Texas Holdem game.

Texas Hold'em is one of the most dramatic and popular varieties of poker in the world. But, how do you play the game? As in most forms of poker, the object is to make the best possible five-card poker hand from a total of seven cards. Of the seven cards, each player receives two cards face down (hole cards) and uses these and the five community cards dealt to make their best possible five-card poker hand.
