texas holdem poker rules

Poker help...!!?

can any one help me out with texas holdem rules?? i mean how to play exactly.. ive never played and i sort of have an idea.. but im not capable of playing yet because i dont know how to bet.. what the raised amount has to be... ive also heard you can pay to see someone elses hand, and what happens then... what the possible hands are.. after how many rounds of betting do you bring out cards.. what is the minimum amount of players? and if you know of any webpage in which i can play it to gain some practice which doesnt require any real money or a credit card.

You find the rules of poker easily enough (e.g http://gamblershandbook.net/gamble/poker...

The amount to bet and raise depends on the type of poker you playing. If your playing a LIMIT game, then there are set increments by which you can bet and raise each round. If you are playing POT LIMIT then you are limited to raising to the total amount of the pot (the money in the middle of the table) and the minimum is usually preset. In NO LIMIT you are allowed to raise as much money as your've brought to the table. For no limit games, the minimum raise is usually the amount of the last bet. So if someone bet 100, i need to raise to at least 200. The minimum bets are usually set.

Typically you don't see someone's hand until showdown. The whole point and skill of poker is in trying to work out what the other man is holding and hiding what your holding.

You need a minimum of two players. A ring game is usually maxed at 8 or 9 players.

You can practice play for free at Full Tilt Poker (http://www.fulltiltpoker.com/?key=MDAwMD... )
against other live players.

Um look the rules of the game really depend on casino policy. It seems like your talking about home games, where really you can do what ever the players agree to and depending on how drunk they are.. they can end up agreeing to some weird things. But some quick advice about seeing the other guy's cards, if you opponent says you can buy one of his cards in the middle of the hand, you have ask yourself why he is doing this. There is usually some manipulation advantage in showing your cards, otherwise it makes no sense.

Also, it has a fast-paced gameplay and simple rules, that is why it is well-liked by many. However, players often get swept up in the excitement of the game and forget the basics. Here, then, are some things that you should remember.

First: The two cards that you hold are the only cards that set you apart from the other players and give you the chance to win. By understanding the value of the two cards that you are holding, you will be able to make the correct first decision in the game. When you look at your cards, be careful not to reveal anything with your reaction.

Second: Keep away from all sorts of emotions. Taking a sharp breath, regardless of how discreetly you did it, can tell a smart opponent all he needs to know to have an advantage over you.

Third: All of the cards that are faced up are community cards. This means that they are shared by you and every other player. It is important, then, that you focus on what those cards could mean to someone else at least as much as you focus on what they mean to you. In particular, keep your eyes open for your opponents' straight and flush possibilities inside Texas Holdem poker room.
