    A better site to play on is Full Tilt Poker.

    The object of the game is to defeat your opponent. First you are dealt 2 cards. Then you have a chance to call, check, raise, or fold. After that there is a flop, where 3 cards are flipped over. Then you get a chance to check, call, or raise. Then there is a turn card. After that card there is a river and you either bet, call, or fold in between every hand. These are the order of the best hands you can get: pair, 2 pair, 3 of a kind, straight, flush, full house, 4 of a kind, straight flush, and royal flush. Just try playin and you’ll get the hang of it. Good Luck!

    My husband plays online all the time. He plays on Poker Stars, Absolute and Ultimate bet, but he read books to learn how to play. First he started off with the free chips, then when he got more comfortable, he advanced to real money. The books helped out a lot.

    everyone is dealt two cards, then betting
    then three community cards are dealt face up on the table. more betting
    then another community card is dealt face up . more betting
    the final community card is dealt face up. final round of betting
    all players are working with the same 5 community cards. only the two face down cards differ for each player. your game will have to to play instructions , that will cover antes and min and max bets allowed. GOOD LUCK

    Okay you start with 2 cards and then you are given the option to make a bet or raise or fold your hand to wait for the next round.
    Then comes the flop which are the first 3 cards that are shown then again you bet or raise or reraise or fold then another card is dealt to give more chance to bet or fold and then a final card is dealt which is called the river card and that’s the last chance you got to bet or fold.

    Texas Hold ‘Em (or Texas Holdem) is the primary version of Poker played in many casinos, and it’s the version seen on television shows like the Travel Channel’s World Poker Tour and ESPN’s World Series of Poker.
    These are the basic rules for Texas Hold ‘Em Poker.

    The Shuffle, The Deal and The Blinds

    The dealer shuffles a standard 52-card deck.

    (In casinos, the dealer never plays. A round disc — known as a “dealer button” — moves clockwise from player to player with each hand. The button marks which player would be the dealer if the deal were advanced from player to player as the game went along.)

    Most Texas Hold ‘Em Poker games start with the two players to the left of the dealer (the button) putting a predetermined amount of money into the pot before any cards are dealt, ensuring that there’s something to play for on every hand. This is called “posting the blinds.” Most often, the “first blind” — the player to the left of the dealer — puts up half the minimum bet, and the “second blind” puts up the full minimum bet.

    Each player is dealt two cards, face down. These are known as the “hole cards.”

    Betting Begins

    A round of betting takes place, beginning with the player to the left of the two who posted the blinds. Players can call, raise, or fold when it’s their turn to bet.

    The Flop

    After the first betting round, the dealer discards the top card of the deck. This is called burning the card and is done to ensure that no one accidentally saw the top card, and to help prevent cheating.

    The dealer then flips the next three cards face up on the table. These cards are called the “flop.”

    NOTE: Eventually, a total of five community cards will be placed face up on the table. Players can use any combination of the community cards and their own two hole cards to form the best possible five-card Poker hand.

    After the flop, another round of betting takes place, beginning with the player to the left of the dealer (the button). During this and all future rounds of betting, players can check, call, raise, or fold when it’s their turn to bet.

    Fourth Street

    The dealer burns another card and plays one more face up onto the table. This, the fourth community card, is called the “turn” or “Fourth Street.”

    The player to the left of the dealer (the button) begins the third round of betting.

    Fifth Street

    The dealer burns another card before placing the final face-up card on the table. This card is called the “river” or “Fifth Street.”

    Final Betting and The Winner

    Players can now use any combination of seven cards — the five community cards and the two hole cards known only to them — to form the best possible five-card Poker hand.

    The fourth and final round of betting starts with the player to the left of the dealer (the button).

    After the final betting round, all players who remain in the game reveal their hands. The player who made the initial bet or the player who made the last raise shows their hand first.

    The player with the best hand wins.
