Guide on how to play poker!

[jessica n]

Hello everyone. I am Jessica N and I am showing you how to play Texas Holdem poker!

Texas Holdem Poker Key Terms

1. Bluff - A bluff is when you try to get someone to think you have a great hand but you really have nothing good at all.

2. Call - When you "Call" someone it means you bet what the other person bet before you did.

3. Raise - When you "Raise" it means that you raise what has already been betted.

4. Check - If you check it means you have nothing yet, but are looking to build something. NOTE: You can only check if no one bets.

5. Fold- If you have a shitty hand, you fold and wait until the next round of cards come out.

6. All In - All In is when you bet all your chips that you have something great or terrible.

7. Cashing Out - Cashing Out is when you are done playing and you collect your money that you have either won or have left.

8. Small Blind - A bet that you have to put out so you don't fold right away. Rotates around the table clockwise.

9. Big Blind - Double the amount of the Small blind. Rotates around the table clockwise.

Poker Hands from BEST TO WORST

Step 1: Look at the 2 cards the dealer gives to you, but don't show/tell anyone them.

Step 2: Check to see if you have anything good. Good = A pair, cards that go in sequence, the same suit.

Step 3: If you have something good you "Bet/Call", if you have something REALLY good you "Raise", if you have shit you "Fold". If you can "Check", you would check if you had an okay hand.

Step 4: The dealer adds three cards which is called the "Flop".

Step 5: If you have something good you "Bet/Call", if you have something REALLY good you "Raise", if you have shit you "Fold". If you can "Check", you would check if you had an okay hand.

Step 6: The dealer adds another card called the "Turn".

Step 7: If you have something good you "Bet/Call", if you have something REALLY good you "Raise", if you have shit you "Fold". If you can "Check", you would check if you had an okay hand.

Step 8: The dealer adds another card called the "River".

Step 9: If you have something good you "Bet/Call", if you have something REALLY good you "Raise", if you have shit you "Fold". If you can "Check", you would check if you had an okay hand.

Step 10: If other players continue to stay in the hand, you show your hands and see who has the best hand and who wins the pot.

Step 11: You start all over until you "Cash-Out" or win everyone's money or lose all your money.


Please tell me what I can add to make this guide better.

Hope this helped,
Jessica N.

Nice guide! 10/10 That helps out some people. I always thought it was straight was better than flush o_o

wow, you know nothing about poker

you would check if you had an okay hand.

you would check either way even if you did have a shitty hand
you also wouldnt stay in if you had a 2 & 3 not suited, its about the same as getting a 6 and 10 not suited
you probably have more uncorrect information, but i had to stop before i vomitted


also, youre a guy

EDIT: i was scrolling back up and i saw you said: "you can raise if you have a REALLY good hand"
have you ever heard of being aggresive?? no you probably havent, you probably just went on fulltiltpoker.com and read the beginners manual
