Live dealer Holdem

Live dealer holdem as the name suggests is played at live casino. You can opt in to a live game of your choice and wait for other players to join. You’ll be able to see the dealer on the camera, but not the other players. Watch live on the screen as the dealer deals out the cards, just like he or she would in a real casino. You can bet just as you would in a physical casino online game, remembering that you’re playing with real money against real players.

The Texas Holdem Game Rules and Betting

In Texas hold’em players are trying to make the best five-card poker hand according to traditional poker rankings. Hold’em is not unlike other poker games like five-card draw. However, the way players construct their hands in Texas hold’em is a little different than in draw poker.

It’s always possible a player can “bluff” and get others to fold better hands. In hold’em each player is dealt two cards face down (the “hole cards”), then over the course of subsequent rounds five more cards are eventually dealt face up in the middle of the table. These face up cards are called the “community cards” because each player uses them to make a five-card poker hand.

The five community cards are dealt in three stages:

• Stage 1: The first three community cards are called the “flop.”
• Stage 2″ Then just one card is dealt, called the “turn.”
• Stage 3: Finally one more card, the fifth and final community card, is dealt — the “river.”

Players construct their five-card poker hands using the best available five cards out of the seven total cards (the two hole cards and the five community cards).

This can be done by using both of the hole cards in combination with three community cards, one hole card in combination with four community cardsm or no hole cards and playing all five community cards — whatever works to make the best five-card hand.

If the betting causes all but one player to fold, the lone remaining player wins the pot without having to show any cards.

For that reason, players don’t always have to hold the best hand to win the pot. It’s always possible a player can “bluff” and get others to fold better hands.

If two or more players make it all of the way to the showdown after the last community card is dealt and all betting is complete, then the only way to win the pot is to have the highest-ranking five-card poker hand.

How to deal with Texas hold’em and how the betting works?

A good way to explain the order of play is to talk about some of the key positions at the table — the button and the blinds (small blind and big blind).

The Button: Play moves clockwise around the table, starting with action to the left of the dealer button. The button is a round disc that sits in front of a player and is rotated one seat to the left every hand. When playing in casinos and poker rooms, the player with the dealer button doesn’t actually deal the cards (the poker room hires someone to do that). In home games with friends, though, the player with the button usually does deal the hands.

The button determines which player at the table is the acting dealer.

Generally, the first two players sitting to the immediate left of the button are required to post a small blind and a big blind to initiate the betting. From there, action occurs on multiple streets: preflop, the flop, the turn and the river (explained further below).

The button determines which player at the table is the acting dealer. In Texas hold’em, the player on button, or last active player closest to the button, receives last action on all postflop streets of play.

While the dealer button dictates which players have to post the small and big blinds, it also determines where the dealing of the cards begin. The player to the immediate left of the dealer button in the small blind receives the first card and then the dealer pitches cards around the table in a clockwise motion from player to player until each has received two starting cards.

The Blinds: Two “Hole Cards” are dealt face down and the first round of betting begins

As mentioned, before every new hand, two players at the table are obligated to post small and big blinds. These are forced bets that begin the wagering. Without these blinds, the game would be very boring because no one would be required to put any money into the pot. Players could just wait around until they are dealt pocket aces and only play then. The blinds, however, ensure there will be “action” on every hand.

In tournaments, the blinds are raised at regular intervals. In cash games, the blinds always stay the same.

• In tournaments, the blinds are raised at regular intervals. As the number of players keeps decreasing and the stacks of the remaining players keep getting bigger, it is a necessity that the blinds keep increasing throughout a tournament. In cash games, the blinds always stay the same.
• The player directly to the left of the button posts the small blind, and the player to his or her direct left posts the big blind. The small blind is generally half the amount of the big blind, although this stipulation varies from room to room and can also be dependent of the game being played. For example, in a “$1/$2” game of Texas hold’em, the small blind is $1 and the big blind is $2.

First Betting Round: Preflop

Two “Hole Cards” are dealt face down and the first round of betting begins

The first round of betting takes place right after each player has been dealt two hole cards. The first player to act is the player to the left of the big blind, a position referred to as “under the gun” because the player has to act first. This player has three options:

• Call: match the amount of the big blind
• Raise: increase the bet within the specific limits of the game
• Fold: throw the hand away

If the player chooses to fold, he or she is no longer eligible to win the current hand. Players can bet anywhere from the amount of the big blind (the minimum bet allowed) up to the total amount in the current pot.

The amount a player can raise to depends on the game that is being played. Most commonly in a game of no-limit Texas hold’em, the minimum opening raise must be at least twice the big blind, and the maximum raise can be all of the chips a player has in his or her stack (an “all-in” bet).

There are other betting variations in hold’em poker. In fixed-limit hold’em (or just “limit hold’em), a raise is always exactly twice the big blind. In pot-limit hold’em (played much less often than the other variations), players can bet anywhere from the amount of the big blind (the minimum bet allowed) up to the total amount in the current pot.

After the first player (“under the gun”) acts, play proceeds in a clockwise fashion around the table with each player also having the same three options — to call, to raise, or fold. Once the last bet is called and the action is “closed,” the preflop round is over and play moves on to the “flop.”

Second Betting Round: The Flop

Three community cards are dealt on the table and a new betting round betting.

After the first preflop betting round has been completed, the first three community cards are dealt and a second betting round follows involving only the players who have not folded already.

A check simply means to pass the action to the next player in the hand.

In this betting round (and subsequent ones), action starts with the first active player to the left of the button. Along with the options to bet, call, fold, or raise, a player now has the option to “check” if no betting action has occurred beforehand. A check simply means to pass the action to the next player in the hand.

Again betting continues until the last bet or raise has been called (which closes the action). It also can happen that every player simply chooses not to be and checks around the table, which also ends the betting round.

Third Betting Round: The Turn

The fourth community card is called the “Turn” and again a new round of betting starts.

Call – match the amount of the big blind: The fourth community card, called the turn, is dealt face up following all betting action on the flop. Once this has been completed, another round of betting occurs, similar to that on the previous street of play. Again players have the option to options to check, bet, call, fold, or raise.

Final Betting Round: The River

The last community card is called the “River”. This is followed by a lasround of betting and finally the “Showdown”

Fold – throw the hand away: The fifth community card, called the river, is dealt face up following all betting action on the turn. Once this has been completed, another round of betting occurs, similar to what took play on the previous street of play. Once more the remaining players have the option to options to check, bet, call, fold, or raise.

After all betting action has been completed, the remaining players in the hand with hole cards now expose their holdings to determine a winner. This is called the showdown.

The Showdown

The player with the best combination of five cards wins

Players construct their hands by choosing the five best cards from the seven available

The remaining players open their hole cards, and with the assistance of the dealer a winning hand is determined. The player with the best combination of five cards wins the pot according to traditional poker hand rankings. These hand rankings aren’t specifically part of Texas hold’em rules, but apply to many different poker games.

• Royal Flush — five cards of the same suit, ranked ace through ten; e.g., A♥K♥Q♥J♥10♥
• Straight Flush — five cards of the same suit and consecutively ranked; e.g., 9♣8♣7♣6♣5♣
• Four of a Kind — four cards of the same rank; e.g., Q♣Q♥Q♦Q♠4♦
• Full House — three cards of the same rank and two more cards of the same rank; e.g., J♣J♥J♠8♦8♥
• Flush — any five cards of the same suit; e.g., A♠J♠8♠5♠2♠
• Straight — any five cards consecutively ranked; e.g., Q♣J♦10♥9♠8♦
• Three of a Kind — three cards of the same rank; e.g., 8♣8♠8♦K♣4♥
• Two Pair — two cards of the same rank and two more cards of the same rank; e.g., A♠A♣J♦J♣7♠
• One Pair — two cards of the same rank; e.g., 10♥10♣9♥4♦2♦

High Card — five unmatched cards; e.g., A♣J♦10♠5♣2♥ would be called “ace-high”

Remember, players construct their hands by choosing the five best cards from the seven available (their two hole cards and the five community cards).

For example, if the board is showing 9♣5♠K♦3♠A♥, a player with the two hole cards A♦9♠ would have two pair (aces and nines), and would lose to a player who has 9♦9♥ for three of a kind (three nines).

Learning hold’em poker begins with understanding how hands are dealt and the order of play as described above. Of course, learning Texas hold’em rules is just the beginning, as the next step is to learn strategy which involves understanding what constitutes good starting hand selection, the odds and probabilities associated with the game, the significance of position and getting to act last during those post-flop betting rounds, and many other aspects of the game.

The Benefits of Live Dealer

• You watch the dealer in real time so you know game play is fair and legitimate.
• You can interact with the dealer, just as you would in a physical casino.
• The biggest thing to remember in live dealer hold ’em is that, if you’re not confident in your hand, there’s no shame in folding rather than calling. Don’t let any cheeky live dealers goad you into backing a hand that you’re pretty sure is going to fail and lose more money as a result!
• Remember that the dealer has to qualify (that usually means getting a pair of fours or better) in order to beat you, so all might not necessarily be lost if you land a poor hand provided there’s not much potential for the dealer in the window cards. Of course, that won’t help you if they’re hiding a pair of pocket aces…

The best way to get to grips with live dealer hold ’em is probably, initially at least, to ditch the live dealer aspect entirely! Use standard casino hold ’em, possibly even in free play mode, to get to grips with the rules, good hands etc. before transitioning to live hold ’em.
