Unlike other poker variations in Texas Holdem there are community cards, which are common for all players in the game. The community cards can be used by all players for forming hands. When playing Texas Holdem each player receives 2 cards face down. There are five community cards, which are dealt down to the table. When the cards are dealt players make bets and then the dealer turns up 3 community cards. Then there is one more betting round. One more table card is flipped, followed by another round of betting. 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.
