Rules Of Poker Texas Holdem

Texas Holdem Poker Rules? I have a question about texas holdem poker, I hope maybe someone can help me with?

If half way through a tournament it is discovered there is missing cards from the deck, what is the official ruling on what course of action to take?

Do you restart the entire game and everyone starts with the original amount of chips? or do you change the deck of cards and carry on?
Please only reply if you know the official ruling on this. Thanks.

Fredster replied: "I would restart the game with the full set of cards. The rules are that you must have 52 cards in a pack for the game. If you carried on it would might have been unfair on some people who could have got certain hands but didn't because of the missing cards."


TheMadProfessor replied: "In any organized tournament (certainly any taking place in a casino), that's next to impossible to happen - at every dealer change, the first thing the dealer does is verify the decks are complete by an in-sequence fan of the cards. Then, after the river of each hand, they usually count the remaining cards to verify there are still 52 in all. I'm not sure what any official ruling on such an occurrence would be, but at a minimum I'd think a dealer or two (and possibly a pit boss) would be out of a job."


Supreme replied: "there is no OFFICIAL ruling because this would not happen at a casino style organized game . NOw at a backdoor game i believe the deck should be switched and everyone keep playing because everyone was playing with the handicap of a missing card so it's still fair but to take someone who is up 10k and say my bad there is a card missing sorry we have to start all over .. that is not fair"


About some rules in Texas Holdem Poker? 1. What happens when a dealer accidentally uncovers a card: for example a dealer accidentally shows a river before all people bet.
You show your cards: the player is folding and he shows the cards to others while throwing them away, when others are still playing
sorry missed "2. " at the beginning of the second sentence :)

MagicianTrent replied: "On number 2, the cards that were thrown away face-up are shown to all players to make sure that no one gets an unfair advantage as a result of being among the few (or only) to see what the cards were.

I'm not sure on Number 1, but my guess would be that the bets for that round are returned, and the pot is split among all players who were in at the start of that round."

otkpoker replied: "Texas Holdem is the most popular poker game in the casinos and cardrooms of North America and Europe. Each player is dealt two cards (hole cards) which belong only to that player.

Five community cards are dealt face-up on the board. All players may use these cards in conjunction with their own hole cards to make the best 5 card hand possible. To view the rankings of poker hands, visit our hand rankings page at...

In Holdem, a disc also known as the button, serves to indicate which player is the nominal dealer for the current game. Before the game begins, the player immediately clockwise from the button posts the small blind, typically half a small bet (for example, $1 in a $2/$4 game). The player immediately clockwise to the small blind posts the big blind, which is always a full smallet (for example, $2 in a $2/$4 game). Now, each player receives his or her two hole cards. Betting action proceeds around the table, starting with the player immediately clockwise to the big blind.
Players may now fold, check, call the big blind, or raise. In Limit games, the raise is limited to one small bet. In Pot Limit the maximum raise is the pot (the amount currently in the pot, plus his call), whereas in No Limit the maximum raise can be any amount of chips.

THE FLOP

Now, the flop is dealt face-up on the board. The flop is the first three community cards available to all active players. Betting begins with the active player immediately clockwise the button. Again, in Limit games, all bets and raises at this point occur in small bets (increments of $2 in a $2/$4 game).
THE TURN

When betting action is completed for the flop round, the turn is dealt face-up on the board. The turn is the fourth community card in a Holdem game. Betting begins with the active player immediately clockwise the button. On this round in Limit games, betting doubles from the small bet to the big bet. In a $2/$4 game, betting on the turn is done in $4 increments.

THE RIVER

When betting action is completed for the turn round, the river is dealt face-up on the board. The river is the fifth and final community card in a Holdem game. Betting begins with the active player immediately clockwise from the button.

If there is more than one remaining player when the final betting round is complete, the last bettor or raiser shows his or her cards. If there was no bet on the final round, the player immediately clockwise the button shows his or her cards first. The player with the best five-card hand wins the pot. In the event of identical hands, the pot will be equally divided between the players with the best hands."

Also there are some sellers of chips, so you can keep playing, play in big stakes or tell your friends you "earned" millions of chips very quick like saying look how good I am imao. In this case I recommend you the ZP Chips team, they are good sellers and beat any price from other sellers.

Rules
The descriptions below assume a familiarity with the general game play of poker, and with poker hands. For a general introduction to these topics, see poker, poker hands, poker probability, and poker jargon.

Betting structures
See the article on betting for a detailed explanation of betting in these variations of hold 'em.

A standard hold 'em game showing the position of the blinds relative to the dealer buttonHold 'em is normally played using small and big blind bets – forced bets by two players. Antes (forced contributions by all players) may be used in addition to blinds, particularly in later stages of tournament play. A dealer button is used to represent the player in the dealer position; the dealer button rotates clockwise after each hand, changing the position of the dealer and blinds. The small blind is posted by the player to the left of the dealer and is usually equal to half of the big blind. The big blind, posted by the player to the left of the small blind, is equal to the minimum bet. In tournament poker, the blind/ante structure periodically increases as the tournament progresses. (In some cases, the small blind is some other fraction of a small bet, e.g. $10 is a common small blind when the big blind is $15. The double-blind structure described above is a commonly used and more recent adoption.)

When only two players remain, special 'head-to-head' or 'heads up' rules are enforced and the blinds are posted differently. In this case, the person with the dealer button posts the small blind, while his/her opponent places the big blind. The dealer acts first before the flop. After the flop, the dealer acts last for the remainder of the hand.

The three most common variations of hold 'em are limit hold 'em, no-limit hold 'em and pot-limit hold 'em. Limit hold 'em has historically been the most popular form of hold 'em found in casino live action games in the United States.[2] In limit hold 'em, bets and raises during the first two rounds of betting (pre-flop and flop) must be equal to the big blind; this amount is called the small bet. In the next two rounds of betting (turn and river), bets and raises must be equal to twice the big blind; this amount is called the big bet. No-limit hold 'em is the form most commonly found in televised tournament poker and is the game played in the main event of the World Series of Poker. In no-limit hold 'em, players may bet or raise any amount over the minimum raise up to all of the chips the player has at the table (called an all-in bet). If someone wishes to re-raise, they must raise at least the amount of the previous raise. For example, if the big blind is $2 and there is a bet of $6 to a total of $8, a raise must be at least $6 more for a total of $14. If a raise or re-raise is all-in and does not equal the size of the previous raise, the initial raiser can not re-raise again. This only matters of course if there was a call before the re-raise. In pot-limit hold 'em, the maximum raise is the current size of the pot (including the amount needed to call).

Most casinos that offer hold 'em also allow the player to the left of the big blind to post an optional live straddle, usually double the amount of the big blind, which then acts as the big blind. No-limit games may also allow multiple re-straddles, in any amount that would be a legal raise.[12]


Play of the hand

Each player is dealt two private cards in hold 'em. They are dealt first.Play begins with each player being dealt two cards face down, with the player in the small blind receiving the first card and the player in the button seat receiving the last card dealt. (Like most poker games, the deck is a standard 52 card deck, no jokers.) These cards are the player's hole or pocket cards. These are the only cards each player will receive individually, and they will only (possibly) be revealed at the showdown, making Texas hold 'em a closed poker game.

The hand begins with a "pre-flop" betting round, beginning with the player to the left of the big blind (or the player to the left of the dealer, if no blinds are used) and continuing clockwise. A round of betting continues until every player has either folded, put in all of their chips, or matched the amount put in by all other active players. See betting for a detailed account. Note that the blinds are considered "live" in the pre-flop betting round, meaning that they contribute to the amount that the blind player must contribute, and that, if all players call around to the player in the big blind position, that player may either check or raise.

After the pre-flop betting round, assuming there remain at least two players taking part in the hand, the dealer deals a flop, three face-up community cards. The flop is followed by a second betting round. This and all subsequent betting rounds begin with the player to the dealer's left and continue clockwise.

After the flop betting round ends, a single community card (called the turn or fourth street) is dealt, followed by a third betting round. A final single community card (called the river or fifth street) is then dealt, followed by a fourth betting round and the showdown, if necessary.

In all casinos, the dealer will burn a card before the flop, turn, and river. Because of this burn, players who are betting cannot see the back of the next community card to come, which might be marked.[12]


The showdown
If a player bets and all other players fold, then the remaining player is awarded the pot and is not required to show his hole cards. If two or more players remain after the final betting round, a showdown occurs. On the showdown, each player plays the best five-card poker hand he can make from the seven cards comprising his two hole cards and the five community cards. A player may use both of his own two hole cards, only one, or none at all, to form his final five-card hand. If the five community cards form the player's best hand, then the player is said to be playing the board and can only hope to split the pot, since each other player can also use the same five cards to construct the same hand.[12]

If the best hand is shared by more than one player, then the pot is split equally among them, with any extra chips going to the first players after the button in clockwise order. It is common for players to have closely-valued, but not identically ranked hands. Nevertheless, one must be careful in determining the best hand; if the hand involves fewer than five cards, (such as two pair or three of a kind), then kickers are used to settle ties (see the second example below). Note that the card's numerical rank is of sole importance; suit values are irrelevant in Hold'em."


Poker: Texas Holdem: Cash Game: lost with Full House vs 3 of Kind due to dealer mistake.? Gentlemen,
...my worst poker expierences ever.
I played texas holdem cash game, bad homburg germany, blinds 5-10 eur. 5 players: i get pocket 2`s in the hole.

flop: J,2,9 rainbow

i was in the late position, called preflop raise of 50,00
the guy that raised checked after the flop.
i decided to raise to 150,00 with my 3 of kind. figured he had pocket 10`s or so. After he called i figured he must have hit the jack. anyway: here comes the turn, 5. he checks, i raise again 150, he decides to go all in with his remaining money, about 600,00 eur...i immediately called with my 3 of a kind "2`s".
He turns around JACK ACE and I showed my pocket 2Вґs
at this point in time i am way ahead with 3 of kind vs his 2 jacks. here comes the river, another jack, the guy cheers, i am irritated the dealer then says his three of kind is better than yours... i couldnt think straight anymore and left the table...lost a over eur 1500,00 pot. Later on i realized that i had a full house 222JJ: RULES?

Nun Y replied: "go back to your question. ''AT THIS POINT IN TIME'' you have the nuts before the river....then you left the table....the only better outcome is if you had stood up, said son of a b-itch grabbed your cards and threw them down hard in the middle so they slightly touch the muck. also a loss.....you are definitely and cordially invited to my weekly Friday night game. ''fresh fish fresh fish fresh fish''!!!!!!!!!!"


Bill F replied: "yes you should have won the hand. The dealer mistake is awful but it is your responsibility to read the hand as well"


ZCT replied: "The rules are, it is your responsibility to read your hand. If you have trips and the board pairs, you should know that you now have a boat. You should have immediately pointed this out and taken your money. If the dealer refuses you call the supervisor over.

After the fact, there is nothing you can really do. If it was a good casino you could complain and have them take a look at the security tape. This may lead to them firing the dealer or re-training him. Maybe they even give you some comps to say sorry. But ultimately, it's far too late to do anything about it.

Quite frankly, if you make mistakes like this, it sounds like you are playing at too high a level. Maybe you should be playing 1/2 until you are more comfortable with the game."


suspendedagain300 replied: "I find it hard to believe that at a 5/10 table, not one single person, especially you, noticed this error. Generally, in my experience anyway, at a live table, the rest of the players are paying some attention to the hands they are not in, especially hands with as much action as you have described. There had to be at least 3 or 4 sets of eyes on this hand and I am amazed that not one person recognized that the other guy was drawing dead on the river. So, A) I find the story a bit far fetched and, B) you should have gone back to speak with the pit boss at the very least. I am not sure of the protocol in a situation like this but the pit boss would have done something to rectify the error. Contrary to what others have said, the cards do the talking in a live game, not the player. Your failure to recognize the hand doesn't mean you lost the pot. If the hand was determined by what the player thought he/she had, I would just yell "Quads!!" everytime I flipped my cards."


ItsMe replied: "You should have said to the dealer "I think you are mistaken. I have a full house, he only has trips. I should win the pot". Once you walked away from the table your hand was dead so it is too late to do anything about it now. From now on make sure you pay a little more attention. Don't let your head get so cloudy that you can't tell when 1500,00 should be your money and not someone elses."

How do you play texas holdem? im new to the poker game texas holdem on face book and im not sure of the rules, the best cards etc. 10 points for most help

3 very good sites which taught me how to play"


holiday replied: "Texas holdem is a variation of poker. In poker, you need 5 cards to make a hand, here's a list weakest to strongest:

HIGH CARD - self explanetary
PAIR - " "
TWO PAIR - " "
3 OF A KIND - " "
STRAIGHT - 5 cards in ascending order ie A2345
FLUSH - 5 cards of same suit
FULL HOUSE - 3 of a kind + a pair ie AAAKK
4 OF A KNID
STARIGHT FLUSH - 5 cards in ascending order and all same suit
ROYAL FLUSH - 10JQKA all same suit

Texas holdem is played by each player being dealt two private cards, called hole cards. Then a round of betting starting with the player left of the big blind. When bettings finished, 3 community cards are laid visible on the table, this is called the flop, another round of betting this time starting from the small blind. Then one more card is laid visible on the table called the turn, round of betting, then the last card is laid on the table, called the river, then the last round of betting. The person with the best 5 card poker hand out of the 7 available (2 hole cards and 5 community cards) wins, or the person who bets all other players out of the pot wins.

Betting- when betting, you can:

CHECK - If noone bets you can 'check' meaning you don't put any money in the pot.
CALL- If someone has already bet an amount, calling is putting in the same money as the previous bettor.
RAISE - Put more money in the pot
FOLD - Throw your hand away

Blinds are a compulsary blind bet that is made before cards are dealt to get the action going. The dealer button is passed around the table before each hand, to the left is the small blind, and to the left of the small blind is the big blind. Usually the small blind bet is half the size of the big blind. So you'll always have BUTTON>SMALL BLIND>BIG BLIND.

Good Luck!"

Another round of betting, then a 4th card on the table, another round of betting, a 5th card, and then a final round of betting. The person with the best 5-card hand using their 2 cards combined with the 5 on the table wins the pot."
