Texas Hold'em: free online hold'em with play chips
Texas Hold'em is a well-known poker game. You get two cards, five shared cards come face up in the middle, and you make the best five-card hand from the seven. Here you play it against one to five computer players, with no real money.
It uses play chips only. Nothing in the game is money, there is nothing to buy, and if you run out of chips the refill is free. There are five tables, and each one adds a player and plays a little sharper. Your hand is named under your cards, which makes it easy to learn.
Also called: free Texas Hold'em, Texas Hold'em against the computer, play hold'em online, hold'em with play chips, texas holdem
How to play
- Open the game and start at table 1, Friendly. Win a table to open the next.
- You get two cards. The two players left of the dealer post blinds to start the pot.
- Five shared cards come face up in the middle: three, then one, then one. Each round you can check, bet or raise, call a bet, or fold.
- Tap Fold, Check or Call, or Raise. Set the size of a raise with the minus and plus buttons, half pot, pot or all in.
- At the showdown the cards flip and the winning five light up. Best to worst: straight flush, four of a kind, full house, flush, straight, three of a kind, two pair, pair, high card. Ties split the pot.
- Tap Next hand to deal again. The blinds rise every 8 to 12 hands. The last player with chips wins the table.
Tips
- Read the name under your cards. It tells you what you hold right now, and it changes as the shared cards come.
- Folding is fine. You do not have to play every hand.
- Start on Friendly. That table has one easygoing player who calls a lot but never raises. The higher tables add players who raise and bluff.
