In Texas Holdem, the first step is to get the game started, and for this the competitors put out a set amount of cash. ‘Posting the blinds’ is the commonly used saying for this play. In the following step, the dealer shuffles the deck of cards and deals two cards face down to all players. A regular deck of 52 cards is used in the deal. Then there is the initial sequence of betting. This sequence is typically known as a "pre-flop".

Following the first betting sequence, the first card of the deck is tossed aside. This discarded card is referred to as the "burn card", and this is performed to guarantee that there is absolutely no fraudulent activity. The next three cards are then revealed face up on the table. These cards are ‘the flop’. Now follows a 2nd sequence of betting, after that the croupier burns a further card and flips 1 more card onto the poker table. Following this, participants can employ the 6th card to create a 5card poker hand.

Another round of wagering happens, and in a number of styles of poker, here is where the bet amount increases. There is another round of throwing away a card, and a final deal of a card face-up on the poker table. This is called the "river". Competitors can now make use of any of the five cards on the table, and/or the 2 cards in their hand, to create a five-card poker hand.

To wrap it up there’s an additional sequence of wagering. Then, all the remaining players start to display their hands. This is referred to as the "showdown". Clearly, the competitor who has the greatest hand is the winner. When competitors have even hands a sharing of the pot is considered.
