Six Possible Community Cards
Six Possible Community Cards 3. Once the players have studied their hands, the dealer turns up the top card of the black row. If the turned-up card is black, it remains on the table and in play. If it is red, it is discarded and put to one side out of play. Next—beginning with the leader each time—the first of six betting rounds takes place. Next, the dealer turns up the top card of the red row. If the turned-up card is red, it remains on the table in play. If it turns out to be black, it is discarded and put out of play. The same procedure is followed with the four remaining face-down cards followed by a betting interval. 4. Once the sixth betting round has been completed and if there is more than one player remaining, the player with the best five-card Texas Hold'em Poker hand comprised of the remaining community cards and his own dealt hand wins the pot. However, each player's hand on the showdown must possess at least one card from his original five-card hand. Variations: This game can also be played as high only or as low only.
FACTS ABOUT POKER CHEATS
FACTS ABOUT POKER CHEATS Though I should have preferred to spare you the reading of this chapter, we had better face the facts about playing Online Hold'em Poker for money. And one of these facts is that more cheating takes place at illegally operated private Online Hold'em Poker games than at all other forms of private card games combined. In fact, the Online Hold'em Poker-playing fraternity is cheated out of untold billions of dollars each year. The first reason, of course, is that more money is gambled at Online Hold'em Poker than at all other private card games combined, and secondly, the average Online Hold'em Poker player knows little or nothing about Online Hold'em Poker-cheating techniques, hence is easily victimized. The legalized Nevada and California Online Hold'em Poker rooms and clubs are exempted from this discussion since their operators take anti-cheating precautions to try to protect their customers from being cheated. This, however, is not meant to imply that cheating does not take place in these two areas. It does, but not as often as in unprotected Online Hold'em Poker games.
