Believe me playing poker is very easy and simple even for the beginners. In poker games, the easiest to learn is Texas holdem poker. I have experienced that the more one plays poker, the better he gets in playing it. This game begins as two players place the blind by placing an initial amount of money as bets. The dealer distributes the hole or pocket cards after shuffling the deck of 52 playing cards. Those 52 cards include two cards, which are placed face down. Then the preflop round starts. In this round, the person sitting left to the one who placed the blind makes the first bet.

Then a player can check, raise, or fold if he wishes. To prevent cheating the top card or the burn card is discarded. Then are the next three cards, which are known as the Flop. Anyone playing poker can use these cards to form a poker hand.

Then the player to the left of the dealer starts playing another round. The dealer burns a card. For the poker hand, a single turn card is flipped. Then another round of betting starts, by the end of which the stakes increase doubly. Then the dealer burns another card. The final river card comes with its face up to form the final five-card poker hand. After the end of another round, the showdown comes. Here, all the players reveal their cards. The best poker hand wins the game.

You will have different limits of the betting amount while playing poker. Those include Structured limit, spread limit, Pot limit and no limit.

While paying poker, you need to apply a few techniques if you want to have an edge over your opponents. When you are the dealer and only you and the blinds are left, you can have a raise. This is called blind stealing. If you are the last to act and you have a good drawing hand, you can bet to raise the pot or limit the players. This is known as steal raise. You can raise the bet and lure your opponents into betting. It is known as check raise. When the group is small, you can use the opener technique to limit players. Here, the first person raises the hand so others call two bets at once. When you have a good hand only in a shorthanded game, you can use squeezing.
