    Texas Hold'em is the most popular form of casino poker. It has been popularized by televised poker contests such as the World Poker Tour and the World Series of Poker, which have brought many new players to the game. Texas Hold'em is easy to learn, but it boasts intricate strategy and requires practice, skill and cunning to play well. Yet, the lower limits of the game are forgiving enough to new players, and with a plethora of online poker rooms, it is very easy to learn and practice the game while wagering little or no money.

    This website is intended as an introductory guide to Texas Hold'em rules and strategy. The strategy presented here is geared towards low limit hold'em, although the concepts are applicable towards pot limit and no limit hold'em as well (though the latter two games require a more sophisticated strategy that is not covered here). This site is a compilation of information that I have learned about the game. I can't guarantee you'll win money by reading this website; however, the information contained herein is correct to the best of my knowledge, and comprises a basic foundation of strategy for Texas Hold'em. Newcomers to the game are strongly encouraged to study as much information as possible.

    Here's a guide to what this website has to offer:

    • If you're new to Texas Hold'em, head on over to the How To Play page to learn the rules of the game.
    • For strategies, the Starting Hands page will teach you the importance of table position, and what hands are the most playable.
    • Flop Play shows you the optimal way to play the hand you've flopped.
    • Pot Odds will teach you how to use the odds to maximize your profit.
    • Playing Styles defines common poker terms as they relate to your opponents at the table.
    • To improve your game, check out the best Poker Books and Poker Links available.
