Texas hold ’em (also known as Texas holdem, hold ’em, and holdem) is one of the most popular variants of the card game of poker. Two cards, known as hole cards, are dealt face down to each player, and then five community cards are dealt face up in three stages. The stages consist of a series of three cards (“the flop”), later an additional single card (“the turn” or “fourth street”), and a final card (“the river” or “fifth street”). Each player seeks the best five-card poker hand from any combination of the seven cards: the five community cards and their two hole cards. (資料來源 )
Players have betting options to check, call, raise, or fold. Rounds of betting take place before the flop is dealt and after each subsequent deal. The player who has the best hand and has not folded by the end of all betting rounds wins all of the money bet for the hand, known as the pot. In certain situations, a “split pot” or “tie” can occur when two players have hands of equivalent value. This is also called “chop the pot”. Texas hold ’em is also the H game featured in HORSE and HOSE. (資料來源 )
假設在一場德州撲克比賽中,您被分配到 A 心和 K 方兩張底牌。您位於後位,有兩名玩家已經加注,顯示他們可能持有較強的起手牌。考慮到您的底牌是高對子,並且位於後位,您可以選擇跟注,看看三張公共牌的情況。如果您在翻牌後看到了 A、K 和 Q,您將擁有一對 A,這將是一個強大的牌型。此時,您可以選擇加注,引導其他玩家跟隨您的下注,以增加底池中的籌碼。如果翻牌後的情況不利,您也可以選擇棄牌,減少損失。
