Unlike other poker variations in Texas Holdem there are community cards, which are common for all players in the game. To form their hands all players can use these community cards. When playing Texas Holdem each player receives 2 cards face down. There are five community cards, which are dealt down to the table. A round of betting is held after the deal and three of the table cards are turned up. Another round of betting follows. Then the dealer turns up one more community card and players make bets. The last card is flipped, a final round if betting ensues, and finally a showdown in which players make their best hands using their two pocket cards and the table's five shared cards. The player with the strongest hand is the winner.
