How to Play Texas Hold’em
Players are dealt two cards to begin
Players can bet, check, or fold based on their hand
After everyone has finished there starting bets the dealer flips over on the the table three more cards called the flop
After the flop players again go around the table betting, calling, and folding
Once the round of betting is over the dealer flips one more card, and the round of betting starts again.
After the final card called the river is flipped over onto the table, the final round of betting begins.
After the final round of betting all remaining players flip there hands and the player with the best combination wins the pot.

Starting Hand Ranking

How it works
Each player will react differently to the same starting hand dealt with every player having a different threshold of quality of starting hand willing to play, and there hand rank and board state determining the amount of money to bet or to fold.
After finishing the starting hand and the first round of bets and folds, each player than use some statistical analysis to look at the amount of outs over the amount of cards left to draw, and the strength of the outs.
Outs we define as the card that can be drawn at any point to complete any one of the winning card combinations
Ex. If your hand consists of 6 , 7 suited and the board consists of 5,8,K, your projected outs for a flush is 8/47 not considering other players hands.

Questions● Question - How does the probability of the hands affect the bets the different
players make?
● Answer – Each player has a defined starting bet value and that is multiplied against a combined probability of the hand given any amount of cards left to draw.
● Question- Under what circumstances would a player fold there hand?
● Answer – Using the same starting bet value defined for each player, a player will fold when their amount they would bet is smaller by some margin then the current bet.
● Question – The players do not use the same probabilities for there starting hand that they use for post flop calculations. What is the metric for grading starting hands?
● Answer – Each two card starting hand has precalculated value ranging from 1 to 4, one being the best possible two card combo, 8 being the worst.
● Questions – Explain simply in a few adjectives each players style?
● Answer – MoneyBags -Naïve, large bets; CheapSkate – passive, patient; Joe Schmoe – a mix of both, right in the middle
● Questions – How would these players fair against real players?
● Answer – Would not do well, Texas Hold’em can be a very mental game where you are trying to guess the other players hand and with any computer controlled players they can become very predictable.
