Texas Holdem

Recent academic study points out that the Texas Hold'em game of poker is one of the most popular, highly studied and news covered cards game around the world right now (TV WSOP (World Series of Poker) reviews and detailed articles are posted daily), it is been the star in online poker rooms over the internet and at offline casinos like the ones in Las Vegas and Atlantic city. The rules are very simple and can be described in few words. In this very exciting (and very fast) poker game, there are up to 10 poker players around the Texas hold em poker table that play at the same time. Each one of the poker player is given by the dealer 2 "down cards". Participating in this poker game are 5 cards called the "community cards", which are placed with their picture-up at the middle of the poker table top. Upon the start of the Texas Hold`em game, the 2 participants sitting on the left of the dealer have to post "blinds". Posting blind means they have to bet even before they are given any new cards. This is to make sure that in any case, the player who has the winning hand will get some poker chips payback on this specific poker gambling round.
The "dealer button" makes one move on each round of the poker game, such that every Texas Hold'em player gets into the situation where he is posting blinds during the game. The game rules specify that the poker player sitting to the left left of the dealer button has to posts the "small blind", and the player sitting to the left of player who posted the "small blind" has to post the "big blind".
