Poker Rules

The object of Texas Holdem is to make the best 5 card poker hand from the 5 community cards on the table and your own 2 cards that only you can see. The community cards are dealt out during the hand with betting rounds in between so you are betting on the likleyhood of forming a winning hand by the end of the hand when all cards are revealed.

A game consists of playing hands of cards and each hand is split into alternating rounds of revealing cards and betting on the results.
Your good buddy has lent you $10K to join a high stakes poker game. Whatever profit or loss you make whilst playing in a game will be added or deducted from your total bankroll whenever you leave a table. The total bankroll determines your player ranking.
Be careful not to lose the initial $10K or it’s back to your buddy to plead for more!
