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. 5 down cards dealt on the table are called community cards. After the deal there is a betting round, after which three community cards are turned up. Then there is one more betting round. One more community cards is turned up and one more betting round follows. 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 winner is the player with the highest hand.
