Holdem Poker Rules:
Each player starts with 2 cards. There are a total of 5 community cards and 2 hole cards (the first two cards dealt to each player are the hole cards). The community cards are dealt face up, any player may use any of the community cards. Texas Holdem has up to 4 rounds of betting. The best 5-card hand using any combination of the 5 community cards and the player's 2 hole cards wins. There is a small blind, a big blind, and a round of betting at the beginning of every hand (blinds are forced bets).
