Rules summary

  • Two hole cards each, five community cards; best five-card hand wins.
  • Betting streets: preflop, flop, turn, river. Check, call, raise, fold, or all-in.
  • Blinds are posted every hand. Heads-up, the button is the small blind: acts first preflop, last postflop.
  • A raise must match the last full raise. A short all-in does not reopen betting for players who already acted.
  • Side pots split by contribution. An odd chip goes to the first winner left of the button.
  • Bust the play-chip stack and you are out.

Practice-table house rules

  • Fixed 10/20 blinds, no ante, no blind increases. The button skips empty seats (live button).
  • Folded hands are still shown at the end of a practice hand for review. That is not live TDA.
  • Clocks: 30s on practice tables, 15s in heads-up match. Raises below the minimum are rejected.

FAQ

Can I play Texas Hold'em online for free?
Yes. This page is the practice lobby in your browser. No app download.
Is this gambling? Can I withdraw?
No. Chips are virtual practice chips. No deposits, withdrawals, or cash value.
Do I need an account?
You can read the lobby without signing in. Starting a table, matching, or creating a room requires login so we can track chips and rating.
Are these the same rules as a live tournament?
Betting and showdown follow TDA (min raise, short all-in no-reopen, side pots, odd chips). Fixed blinds, live button, and showing folded cards are house rules listed above.
