Community Card Poker GamesThese are the rules for community card poker games. In the rules for community card poker games, each poker player is dealt privately an incomplete poker hand (hole cards) which is then combined with the community cards to make a complete poker hand. The set of community cards is called a board, and may be dealt in a simple line or arranged in a special pattern; rules of each poker game determine how the community cards may be combined with each player's private poker hand. The most popular community card poker game today is probably Texas Holdem Poker (and variants) originating sometime in the 1970s. In home poker games, it is typical to use an ante, while casinos typically use only blinds for these poker games. Fixed limit poker games are most common in poker rooms and casinos, while spread limit games are more common in home poker games. No limit and pot limit games are less common, but some poker games play particularly well with those structures such as Texas Holdem Poker. Most of the major poker tournaments at casinos and poker rooms are no limit Texas Holdem Poker games. It is a common convention in community card poker games to name the board cards in relation to the order in which they are dealt. The community cards initially dealt by the dealer are called the flop, the next community card dealt is called the turn, and the final community card dealt is called the river. As with stud poker, later poker betting rounds often have a higher limit than earlier poker betting rounds. Each betting round begins with the poker player to the dealer's left (when blinds are used, the first round begins with the player after the big blind), so community card games are generally positional poker games. Most community card poker games do not play well with lowball poker hand values, though some do play very well at high-low split, especially with ace-to-five low values, making it possible to win both halves of a pot. When poker games are played high-low split, there is generally a minimum qualifying poker hand for low (often 8-high), and it is played cards speak.
