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.
