There’s no game like Poker. It’s exciting, it’s thrilling, it’s precise and smart. You can’t win a hand of poker without convincing old Lady Luck to favour you by showing her that you have the right skills. It’s not for everybody, just for the brave, for those who dare and are able to make calculated risks at just the right moment, for those who can predict the flop, read the odds and the opponents like an open book. That’s why we aim to provide the best poker experience possible at Betsafe.
The simplest form of poker is Texas Holdem Poker, so if you’re a beginner, then it’s a truly great place to start. It came to prominence in the late 1970s when it was the centrepiece game at the World Poker Series tour. It’s essentially a seven-card version of the game, which serves as a basis for a fast and tactical game of cards. When the game starts, two cards are dealt face down to each player by the dealer. The player sitting to the dealer’s left puts down a small blind, which is a forced bet that is of a predetermined amount, whereas the player sitting next to him or her puts down a big blind. This is done to ensure that players play through the first round before upping the ante in the second. The following three rounds are called the “flop”, “turn” and “river” respectively. The flop involves three cards being laid down followed by betting, the turn involves one more card being laid down followed by betting, and the river involves yet another card being laid down followed by betting. Players then show their hands after the final round of betting, with the holder of the strongest five-card hand being the winner. If two players have the same hand, the pot is shared between them.
