Texas Hold’em is a community card game where players aim to make the best five-card hand using two private hole cards and five shared community cards. The game progresses through betting rounds: preflop, flop, turn, and river. Players can check, bet, call, raise, or fold based on their hand strength and strategy. The showdown occurs if multiple players remain after the final betting round, with the best hand winning the pot. Blinds ensure action, and the dealer position rotates each hand to maintain fairness.
