Shared Card Games (Texas Holdem) include all games with community cards, which are common for all players at the table. Community cards are used by all players. They are used to form the best hand combination. When playing Texas Holdem each player receives 2 cards face down. There are five community cards, which are dealt down to the table. A round of betting is held after the deal and three of the table cards are turned up. One more betting round follows. Then the dealer turns up one more community card and players make bets. After the last betting round and the turn up of the last community card the hands of the players are compared. The winning combination can be formed from the two pocket cards and five community cards. The player with the strongest hand is the winner. Classic Texas Holdem Poker History.
