TEXAS HOLD’EM

How to play

Two cards in your hand. Five on the table. Make the best five-card combination using any of them.

A hand, from deal to showdown

  1. 2 PRIVATE CARDS

    The deal

    You get two private cards. The small and big blinds start the pot, then the first betting round begins.

  2. 3 SHARED CARDS

    The flop

    Three shared cards land on the table. Combine them with your cards and decide your next move.

  3. 2 MORE SHARED CARDS

    The turn & river

    A fourth shared card, then a fifth. There’s another betting round after each one.

  4. BEST FIVE WINS

    The showdown

    Players still in reveal their cards. The best five-card hand wins. If everyone else folds, you win immediately.

How does this poker table work?

Each player begins a new game with 1,000 chips, with small and big blinds of 5 and 10. Choose Casual, Classic, or Expert difficulty; it stays fixed for that game. Make your best five-card hand from two private cards and five community cards, or win when every other player folds.

Is it free, and can I win money?

It is free to play. All balances and bets use virtual chips with no cash value. You cannot buy chips, deposit money, withdraw winnings, or win cash prizes. PlayForChips is entertainment for adults aged 18 and over.

Am I playing against other people?

No. The other four seats are computer opponents. This is a single-player poker game; private rooms, invitations, and multiplayer are not currently available.
