Texas Hold'em
Two hole cards; shared board (flop, turn, river). Make the best five-card hand using any combination of your hole cards and the board.
How it works
Best 5-card hand from any mix of your holes and the board wins the hand. Ties split. Side pots apply when players are all-in for different amounts.
Rules
- Each player is dealt 2 hole cards face down.
- Five community cards: flop (3), then turn, then river.
- Jokers, when enabled, are wild and can represent any card to complete your hand.
- If two or more players remain all-in before the board is complete, the table is offered run-it-twice (everyone must agree).
Dealer's options
- Jokers — 0, 1, or 2 wild jokers can be added to the deck.
- Turn style — Standard (1 turn card) or Double Turn (2 turn cards, for a 6-card board).
- Betting — No Limit or Pot Limit (max additional chips this action is 3 × last bet + pot).
