The objective of the game is to win the pot, which contains all the bets made in the game.

The game consists of two cards being dealt face down to each player and then five community cards being placed face-up by the dealer-a series of three ('the flop') then two additional single cards ('the turn' and 'the river').

The player who makes the best hand wins the pot.

In Texas Hold'em, a player may use any combination of the seven cards available to them to make the best possible five-card hand.

All players in the game use these shared community cards in conjunction with their own hole cards to each make their best possible five-card hand.

Five community cards are dealt face-up on the 'board.'.

Each player is dealt two private cards (hole cards) that belong to them alone.
