Texas Hold'em Poker Games
Texas Hold'em is considered by many as being the most popular poker
game played around the world today! Its appeal is widespread as it is a game
that can be played at all levels.
From casual poker nights with your friends right up to major national and
international tournaments, Texas Hold'em can be played by anyone with a little
bit of practice. Compared to other poker games, Texas Hold'em is far easier to
learn and is recommended as the best poker game to start with if you are a
beginner.
Texas Hold'em Rules
The aim of Texas Hold'em poker is to make the best hand by combining the
cards in your hand and the community cards in the centre of the table.
Each player receives two cards face down called hole cards. The first
round of betting goes ahead followed by three community cards placed face up in
the middle of the table (the flop).
A second round of betting occurs and players have the option to fold if they
do not want to play their hand. A fourth card is turned and placed next to the
community cards (4th Street) and a third round of betting takes place.
The final card that is revealed is called the river and stimulates the
final round of betting. The players that are left in the game (i.e. haven't
folded) all reveal their cards, and these cards are combined with the cards in
the middle to see which way each hand will make the best hand of poker cards.

Telltale Texas Hold'em features four extremely animated 3D cartoon characters to play
against. Each character has their own very distinctive personality which is
represented using some great professional voice acting and animated body movement.
Unlike most other computer card games, Telltale Texas Hold'em tries to
simulate the experience of actually sitting at a poker table opposite
"real" opponents. During the game there is a lot of conversation and
idle banter between the other opponents which at times can be quite
entertaining. It is actually pretty funny when it is your turn to play and you
don't react straight away - they all turn and look at you!
