There are many variants of poker, but the most widely played game is texas hold'em. Many people would agree that it's also the most exciting game because it's a very fast game, particularly online where hands are played out quicker. In this article I will explain the rules of texas hold'em.

The rules are relatively simple, but let's start at the beginning. The game, which can be played between two and ten players, begins with a player being chosen as the dealer, denoted by a dealer chip next to them. Players to the left of the original dealer then take turns to be the dealer in subsequent hands.

Before a card is dealt an ante is created with the player to the immediate left of the dealer placing a small blind into the pot, and the player to the left of him placing a big blind. This ensures that for every hand you play, there is always at least a small ante to play for.

Then dealing begins with each player receiving two cards face down. Betting action then begins with the player to the left of the big blind. He can either call, ie match the big blind, fold, or raise.

After this round of betting finishes, the community cards are dealt. These are cards dealt face up onto the table that each player still left in can use to make the best five-card hand possible with the two cards they already hold. Three cards are dealt initially, called the flop, before another round of betting takes place, starting with the player to the left of the dealer this time.

If there are still two or more players left in at the end of this round of betting, another card is dealt, called the turn, and added to the three community cards. Another round of betting then takes place.

Again if there are still two or more players left in at this stage, then one final card is dealt, commonly referred to as the river, to make five community cards at the table. A final betting round then begins. If the remaining players all check or call each other, then a showdown takes place and each players reveals their cards to the rest of the table to determine who takes the pot.

It may seem fairly complicated at first, but once you play several hands you can pick it up surprisingly quickly, and will soon discover for yourself what an exciting game it is to play.

It has often been quoted that the 10th best poker player in the world would lose money if she played only with the 9 better players.

What many online poker players do not realise is that this quote is not only very relevant to them, but ignoring this vital point can actually cost money!!

Table Selection in online poker is as important a skill as selecting which hands to play. After all, the profit in poker comes from opponents making mistakes - it really pays to find the tables with the weakest opponents, whatever game and limits you play at. Below are 5 key tips that will help you select the right tables:

Online Poker Table Selection Tip #1

Most online poker sites display statistics on the percentage of players who see each flop in their main lobby area. Look for the tables with the highest percentage, 35%+ is a good rule of thumb. Strong players see less flops - so this is a good indicator of weaker opponents.

Online Poker Table Selection Tip #2

Average pot size is also displayed by online poker rooms. Here we are looking for a larger pot size. This indicates that you are more likely to get 'paid off' when you hit a big hand. A combination of #1 and #2, large pots with a large percentage of players seeing the flop, is ideal.

Online Poker Table Selection Tip #3

Once you have identified some target tables look at the stack sizes of opponents already seated. If there are more than 2 'short-stacks' (between 10 and 20 big blinds only) it may be worth looking for another table. Short stacks can make playing post-flop difficult and will tend to make the larger stacks tighten up when they are involved in a hand - since your objective is to take the big stack's money you do not want this to happen!

Online Poker Table Selection Tip #4

Keep a 'Buddy List', when you see particularly bad opponents add them to your buddy list (where your poker room supports this). You can then search for buddies before selecting a table and make sure that you sit down with the very worst opponents.

Online Poker Table Selection Tip #5

Take notes and act on them! Make notes not only on your opponents starting hands, look for how they play drawing hands (such as straights and flushes) and small pairs. Once you have a good number of notes at a particular site you can use these to help you select the best table. For example if you have a note that a player is very loose pre-flop then you should be more willing to take a seat to his left than one to his right.

GL at the Tables,

It's time for more important texas holdem poker terms
to help you become a better texas holdem poker player.
If everyone else at the table is speaking a language
that is completely foreign to you, how are you going
to improve your texas holdem poker game, let alone
become good enough to win consistently?

Let's get on with more texas holdem poker terms:

Quads: Simply, four of a kind.

Rag: This is a card that doesn't have any apparent
impact on the hand being played.

Rainbow: A rainbow can be one of two things in texas
holdem. 1) A flop that contains three different suits,
so a flush can't be completed on the turn. 2) A complete
5 card community board with no more than two cards of any
one suit, making a flush impossible.

Raise: This occurs when a player matches the previous
bet and adds to it as well, adding more money to the
pot and increasing the bet to the players after him.

Rake: The money that the casino/house charges for
each hand of poker that is played. It's usually a
percentage or flat fee that is taken from each pot
at the end of the hand.

Rake-Back: The percentage of the rake that the house
returns to the players.

Re-Buy: In certain tournaments, players can buy back
in by paying to add chips to their stack.

Re-Raise: To raise after someone already raised in the
same hand.

Ring Game: A live poker game that isn't a tournament.

River: In texas holdem poker, the river is the final
(fifth) community card dealt in texas hold'em, after
which the fourth round of betting occurs. The river
is also known as "Fifth Street."

These are just some of the terms you'll need to know if you
want to sound like a texas holdem pro. It may seem silly to
have to know these terms if you know how the game is played.
But showing your ignorance at the table could make you a mark.
And if you don't know what I mean by mark, you really need to learn
these terms!

Do you know the power of a pocket pair?

Everyone new to poker thinks that AJ, AQ , AK are better then pocket pairs.

I have a secret to tell you, those hands are not!

Pocket Pairs are one of the best kept secrets for professionals in poker.

There are so many opportunities when you receive one.
You are head of hands like AK and AQ. You can hit a set. Nobody really expects you to have it.

The biggest beats put on players are usually done by pocket pairs.

What is your chance of hitting a set on the flop with a pocket pair?

1 out of 38

In Texas Hold'em you need to know the odds of every hand you enter. If you are not armed with the right information on odds, hand rankings, and probability then you are behind the game right away.

You need to look for an edge in any tournament you are in.

I suggest always playing a pocket pair if it is above 6's. This mean's if there is a standard raise, call it.
If you just need to call the big blind, then just limp in the pot.

When you finally hit that set, chances are you are going to do a lot of damage to anyone else that is in the pot.

Always be aware of your opponent holding a pocket pair that turns into a monster set. It is hard to put your opponent on or detect they have three of a kind (also known as set, trips)
You really just have to do your best to detect this silent assassin.

Until next time, good luck at the tables!
