Texas Holdem background

As one of the most popular poker variants, Texas Holdem is played in online and land based casinos across the world, continuously gaining hordes of devotees ever since it first appeared on the gambling scene in the early 20th century. The game spread throughout the state of Texas like a tornado, and although extremely popular in its own birthplace, it did not reach the gambling El Dorado, Las Vegas, until the late 60s, when a group of Texan players introduced the game to the gambling community of Nevada.

Texas Holdem objective

Just like in all other forms of poker, the goal of Texas Holdem players is to win the Pot – the chips that are contributed by all the players at the table. After the Hole cards are dealt, the player can Check, Bet or Fold, or give up and lose the initial bet. The Flop cards are then dealt, followed by the Turn as soon as the new round of betting is over.

The final stage of the game begins when the River is dealt. The player who are still in the game reveal their hands and whoever has the highest ranking hand, takes the Pot.

Texas Holdem Video Poker version and its advantages

This version is considerably less stressful than an actual Texas Holdem table for two reasons – the only opponent that you have is an automated machine and the betting limits are significantly lower than at the real Texas Holdem table.

Another advantage of the Video Poker version is that the pace of the game is established by the player, which means that people who are yet to improve their Poker skills will find Texas Holdem Video Poker a perfect practising platform.

If, on the other hand you are not trying to brush up on your Texas Holdem knowledge or improve your strategic skills, the Video Poker is still an optimal choice for those who are merely trying to unwind and have some fun playing a few hands of poker – and what better way to do that then with the machine doing all the heavy lifting for you, such as processing the data and ranking your hand against the payout table.

Where can I play Texas Holdem?

Anywhere from online gaming sites and casinos, to Atlantic City, Las Vegas Strip and literary any public place that offers Video Poker machines.

Of course, things were not as simple in the beginning and Golden Nugget casino was the only venue that used to offer Texas Holdem. A lot has changed since and nowadays it seems impossible that there was once a time when this game was not around every corner and under every online casino’s Video Poker category.

Poker has always been a popular game. In the beginning
players would use all different forms of currency while playing.
Items such as gems, ore, gold, food, and livestock were used by
players to raise the stakes of the game.

As the games popularity grew the need to have a single
currency to be used in the game became evident and so the poker
chip was born. The first to start using the poker chips were
riverboats and small card rooms. They would exchange the chips
for money for anyone who wanted to play the game. They would
charge a small fee for the exchange and the player was
guaranteed to leave with the amount of money he had in chips at
the end of the game.

The first poker chips were made of clay. These chips were put
into production at the end of the 1800’s. As technology grew so
did the construction of the poker chip. Since their introduction
they’ve been made from such materials as acrylic, plastic, and
even some exotic chips were made from ivory.

The modern day chip found at the Texas holdem tables is made
primarily of clay if it’s to be used while playing at a table
and metal if it’s to be used playing in the slot machines. In
today’s world where gambling is growing and places like Las
Vegas and Atlantic City have so many gambling establishments
it’s important for them to have a set of chips that can only be
used at one place. Each casino usually has a specific design and
some even have microchips made into their chips. That way only
their chips can be used at any game so they are guaranteed their
money.

Poker Chip Rules in Casinos

When you buy into a game at a casino, you’re exchanging money
for poker chips. Each game is different so the way the chips are
distributed depends on the game you’re playing. When you buy
into a Texas holdem poker tournament, you might receive $3,500
in poker chips, but the buy-in for the game is only $100. The
$3,500 in chips holds no cash value, so you couldn’t go exchange
the chips for cash.

In poker tournaments, you’re playing for a piece of the prize
pool. The $100 buy-in goes into the pot and the total pot is
distributed to the top finishers. The number of people who share
in the pot and the percentage they earn depends on the
tournament.

However, if you’re playing in a holdem cash game, the poker
tokens hold a cash value. So if you buy $1,000 in chips, it will
cost you $1,000. The poker chip value will match the cash value.
And you can head to the cashier and swap your casino chips for
cash at any time.

Casinos use different poker chips for cash games and
tournaments, so they don’t risk losing money by handing over
cash for tournament tokens that aren’t worth anything.

Within a casino, poker chips, the ones with cash value, work
just like cash. You can use your poker chips to pay for anything
on the property –such as, a buffet dinner, something from the
gift shop, or tips for the waitress; it just depends on the
casino and their rules.

Hand Shuffling

The objective of a correct card shuffle is to change the
order of cards in the deck. Today we have a large scale of card
shuffles. Some shuffles are common and others are fancy. It also
depends on the country where you’re playing. For example in
Europe the most widely used shuffle is the Overhand shuffle. The
Riffle shuffle is common in the USA but in Europe this shuffle
is considered fancy and many people can’t do it. It also depends
on the quality of cards you can get in certain areas. Some of
the most common shuffles are explained below.

The Overhand Shuffle

This is probably the most common method of card shuffling
today. To successfully use this method here is how it It’s done.

the long side and middle and ring fingers on the short side
opposite your thumb.
