Hold'em poker is played with a standard 52 card deck. The difference lies in the use of five community cards – by this we mean five cards that are dealt face up on the table and that all players share. Every poker player receives two cards from the dealer – these are known as hole or pocket cards and make up your starting hand.

Every round of poker starts with each player receiving their two hole cards. The winner is the player who, after several betting rounds, can use his hole cards together with the five community cards to create the best ranked five-card poker hand.
