Live Texas Holdem is played online with digital cards that represent the community cards, the hole cards, and the betting chips. Players must purchase chips to play and place bets on their hands. Each player is dealt two hole cards and then the dealer deals three community cards – the flop, the turn, and the river. After each round of betting, the players have the opportunity to “check” or “raise” their bets. After all players have made their decisions, the remaining players go to show-down. The winner of the hand is the player with the best 5-card combination.
