Welcome to the SportzNutz Poker School! If you're a beginner looking
for lessons on how to play, you've come to the right place.
Obviously, what you learn here won't automatically turn you into
a poker pro, but you should pick up enough to make you comfortable
enough to start playing low-limit games right away and avoid the
most common beginners' mistakes. The only way to improve is to play,
play, play. Remember, though, that in poker, even years of practice

luck. The golden trick is learning when and how to capitalize on the
twists and turns, the good and bad, of that luck.

How to Play Texas Holdem Poker: In Texas Holdem, each player is dealt two personal cards, called “pocket” or “hole” cards, to be
used in combination with the five face-up community cards to make the best possible poker hand. To
indicate which person is the dealer from round to round, a disc or other such marker, called the
“button,” is placed in front of them. Different from the poker you may be used to, players do ante
but there are also what are called the Small Blind – posted by the person to the left of the dealer,
and usually half of the minimum bet – and the Big Blind – posted by the person to the left of the
