With a deck of cards, a folding poker table and a few accessories, entertainment will ensue for many nights to come. The popularity of Texas Holdem in general has soared in recent years. With the World Series of Poker being aired on television, poker chips are in high demand. Here is how it works. A dealer button is placed in front of the person who will be dealing the next particular hand. The person to the immediate left of the dealer is responsible for paying the small blind. The small blind is equal to one half of the big blind. The person to the immediate left of the small blind is responsible for paying the big blind. The big blind is equal to the minimum bet that has been set for the game. Everyone sitting around the table is dealt 2 cards. These are called hole cards. The dealer then places 5 cards in the middle of the table. Bets are placed after everyone has received their 2 cards. The minimum that is required to be paid for the first bet is equal to the big blind. After bets have been placed, the dealer turns over the first 3 of the community cards. Bets are placed again. The process is repeated with betting occurring after each of the remaining community cards are turned over. The object of the game is to make the best poker hand that you possibly can by using the 2 cards you have and the 5 community cards that everyone has. With everyone sharing the same 5 cards in the middle of the table, the endless number of outs, or possible winning hands, is through the roof. That is why there is such a competitive edge to friendly Texas Holdem Poker Parties.
