Poker Strategies
After receiving pocket cards, you are immediately faced with a choice: play your cards and either raise or call the blinds, or fold.
Practice Matters
The Ante
The Ante Two types of ante used in Draw Texas Hold'em Poker are as follows: 1. Each player, before the cards are dealt, antes an equal amount into the pot. All players must ante in turn, starting with the player to the dealer's left and rotating clockwise. 2. Dealer's edge. The player whose turn it is to deal antes an amount into the pot. In dealer's edge a new player entering the game must wait until it is his turn to deal before he is permitted to play.
The Deal
The Deal Dealing clockwise, starting with the player on the dealer's left, the dealer deals a card face down to each player until each has five cards. The dealer gets the last card. The remaining cards are put to one side in front of the dealer for future use in drawing.
