Basic Holdem

Another $2 turbo and another good finish, 2nd! thats two 1st's and a 2nd in my last 3!! i just need to keep this going now

OK, lets start on some basics (i know we all know these but for the sake of being complete)

I play NoLimit Holdem(NLHE), tourny or cash games, though i really should stick to tourny's for now!!

as we all know this is how the game goes

everyone is dealt 2 cards face down, that only they can see, the person to the left of the dealer Small Blind (SB) makes a half bet of the minimum, the player to his left Big Blind (BB) makes the minimum bet from here everyone has 3 choices, fold and keep there chips, call the bet or raise, of which the raise has to be a minimum of the value of the BB or previous bet if reraising

once every has called we see 3 cards (Flop), another round of betting, a 4th Card (Turn) another round of betting and a final 5th card and a final round of betting

the player with the best hand (5 cards using any of his 2 and the 5 on the board) or who's bet is not called wins the hand

basic i know, but lets cover it and move on
