Good Words to Know Playing Texas HoldemThese are some words that are commonly used in Texas Holdem, and are quite handy for you to know.Bet: A pretty obvious one, a bet is when a player puts an amount in the center of the table to be "called" by other players. Call: To meet another players bet. Raise: to put in more than the previous bet. Please note that this makes the play go around the table again and everyone else has to call this raise or fold. Fold: To place your cards on the table and declare that you are "out" for the rest of the round. Check: Only used if no-one before you has bet, basically you are "checking" to see what the next people are going to do, also if someone has bet already you must call or raise their bet or fold. The Rules for Texas Holdem1. The Cards are shuffled and dealt, two to each player, and the deck is placed face down in the center. 2. Each player puts a predetermined amount into the center for the "blind" or the "starting bet". 3. The dealer takes the top card and places it face down on the "burn" pile, after that the dealer takes the top three cards and turns them face up on the table, close to the deck. 4. The player to the left of the dealer has the first turn, and they can bet or check (see above) depending on what their hand is like. 5. Each player takes their turn, betting, folding, calling, raising or checking as they go.(See above for definitions) Something to note is that you cannot check if someone previous to you has bet, you have to call(meet) their bet or you have to fold. If no-one bets, then you are allowed to check, but if someone after you bets, you have to call(meet) their bet, or fold. 6. The dealer then takes the top card(again) and puts it in the "burn" pile, after that the dealer takes the next card and places it in the middle, the betting then commences for the second time. 7. Each player takes their turn, betting, folding, calling, raising or checking until the people who cannot or will not bet have folded or checked,(only if everyone else checks as well), or the bet is called (met). 8.
