No Limit Hold’em

No Limit Hold'em is a popular variant of Texas Hold'em poker game, where players aim to make the best five-card hand using two personal cards and five community cards. There is no betting limit in this game, hence the name “No Limit Hold’em”. A player can choose to bet all of their chips in a single turn if they wish.

Blinds and Dealing: At the start of the game, two players to the left of the dealer place small and big blinds, which are mandatory bets to get the action going. The dealer then deals four personal cards face down to each player, and the first betting round begins.

Pre-Flop: The player to the left of the big blind starts the betting, and players can either call, raise, or fold. If a player raises, other players must match that bet to stay in the game. If a player folds, they forfeit their cards and their bets. The betting continues in a clockwise direction until all players have either folded or matched the highest bet.

Flop: Once the first betting round is over, the dealer reveals the first three community cards, known as the flop. Another round of betting takes place, starting with the player to the left of the dealer.

Turn: The dealer reveals the fourth community card, known as the turn. Another round of betting takes place, starting with the player to the left of the dealer.

River: The dealer reveals the fifth and final community card, known as the river. The last betting round takes place, starting with the player to the left of the dealer.

Showdown: If more than one player remains after the final betting round, they must show their cards to determine the winner. The player with the best five-card hand using their personal and community cards wins the pot.
