Hold’em with Friends
This guide will show you the ropes of playing Texas Hold’em poker with your friends online.
Creating a Private Room:
- Look for the “Create Room” option (might have a lock icon).
- Set a cool name for your room and a password only your friends will know.
- Choose the number of players (up to 6).
Texas Hold’em Basics:
Texas Hold’em is all about building the best five-card hand using your two hole cards and five community cards revealed throughout the game.
Let the Games Begin!
- You’ll take turns being the dealer.
- The dealer distributes two hole cards to each player (face down).
- Betting rounds occur throughout the game, with players calling, raising, or folding based on their hand strength and the community cards revealed.
- The community cards are revealed one at a time (flop, turn, and river). Each reveal allows players to adjust their bets.
- After the final betting round, players reveal their hole cards. The player with the strongest five-card hand wins the pot (all the chips wagered that round).
Bonus Features:
- Don’t have enough friends online? Play against AI opponents until your crew arrives.
- Use the chat functionality to chat with your friends during the game (within the app’s guidelines).
