Poker-Texas Hold'em

Of all the variants of poker, by far the most popular is Texas Hold'em, the game of choice for most casinos.
Rules
(It is best to limit it to 9 or 10 people a table, but up to 23 can play on a single deck)

1. Each player dealt two cards.
2. There is a round of betting.
3. Three cards are places in the centre and turned over for the "Flop". These are "Community cards"- all the players still in the game can use them.
4. There is another round of betting.
5. A fourth "Community Card" is turned over in the centre of the table for "The Turn".
6. There is another round of betting.
7. A fifth and final "Community Card" is turned over in the centre of the table for the "River"
8. There is another round of betting.
9. The player who can form the best five card hand (See the previous post on Poker basics) from their two individual cards and the five community cards wins and gains all the money in the pot.

Tactics

1. At the start of the game, players are at an advantage if they are dealt two face cards (Jack and Higher), two cards of the same suit (e.g a 6 and an 8 of hearts), two cards in sequence (e.g a 4 of hearts and a 5 of diamonds), or two cards of the same value (e.g two sixes). The best combination of two cards are "Pocket Aces"-A pair of Aces. 
2. If you have any of the above, you are advised to bet. If you don't, you are advised to fold.
3. The difference between the players are the initial cards. As the community cards are visible to all, the key to the game is whether you or your opponents can complete a winning hand using their initial cards. All strategy and gamesmanship is based on those cards.
4. However, the initial two cards are misleading. The game hinges on the five community cards. A player with pocket aces may lose their advantage, and a player with a poor initial hand may benefit from the flop,turn and river.
5. The final five-card hand must include at least one of your starting cards. So observe the community cards carefully, and see which combinations you can make with your cards.
6. Think in the long-term.
7. If you are one card away from a winning hand  (e.g A straight or higher) after the flop, don't be too confident about completing it over the next two rounds, but try anyway. Just don't place too much money on it.
8. As with basic poker, bluffing is a powerful tactic in smaller games.

Have fun and remember not to lose your money!
