Texas Hold 'Em is one of the oldest poker games around. It starts out with each and every player is dealt two cards down. People then make their bets. The one card is turned over in the center of the table. This is called the river or the flood. The player can combine their cards with the cards in the river. People then bet again. This goes on until five cards are up in the river. Players then place their final bets and show each other their hands.
