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. When the cards are dealt players make bets and then the dealer turns up 3 community cards. Another round of betting follows. 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 player who has formed the best hand is the winner.
