This game has gotten so popular that I think I am one of the few left who haven’t played before.  Since all the tournaments seem to be in this format, I really would like to learn the differences between that and the traditional poker games that I have always played before.  Anyone know a site that explains this game?

Thanks for sharing that link.  That is the clearest and most understandable explanation that I’ve seen for Texas Hold’em.  Most of the ones I’ve seen go into detailed strategies and stuff that do not make sense to me yet.  All I need is a simple explanation of the rules and then I can figure out strategies after I learn the game.

AMEN.

When I first started playing Texas Hold’em, I was asking for help and I would get crazy answers in return and I would never understand what they were trying to tell me, until it was too late. Yeah, it’s a pretty confusing game unless you figure out what you’re doing. That link was helpful as it cleared up some things that I wasn’t too sure on. Thanks Allil!

This is the only version of Poker I play now. I use to watch the WPT and the Celebrity poker shows and pick up tips on there. Usually in between breaks they will explain how to do things. The go over things like the river and the flop and how you should bet. It’s pretty easy once you get the hang of it.

Allil, thank you for sharing us the link! That’s what I needed and it definitely helped a lot. I haven’t played Texas Hold ‘em poker yet, but I got really curious and is planning to play on the site soon!
