Quick Summary

Community-card poker is a variant of poker where some cards are dealt faceup and used by all players to form their best hands. The most popular game in this category is Texas hold'em, often called the "Cadillac of poker games". In Texas hold'em, players receive two private cards (hole cards) and share five community cards dealt faceup on the table. Players aim to create the best possible five-card hand using any combination of their two hole cards and the five community cards. Betting rounds occur after specific community cards are revealed: the flop (three cards), the turn (fourth card), and the river (fifth card). The game is typically played with a standard 52-card deck, where cards rank from Ace (high) down to 2.123
