Texas Hold'em is a poker game where players have two private cards ("hole cards") and combine them with five community cards to make the best five-card poker hand.

Here's a breakdown of the gameplay:

Blinds: Before the cards are dealt, two players make forced bets called "blinds". The player to the dealer's left puts in the "small blind", and the next player to their left puts in the "big blind", which is usually double the small blind.   

Dealing: Each player receives two hole cards face down.   

Pre-Flop Betting: Players take turns betting based on the strength of their hole cards. They can:   

• Fold: Give up their hand and forfeit any chips they've bet.
• Call: Match the current bet.   
• Raise: Increase the bet.   

Flop: Three community cards are dealt face up in the center of the table.

Flop Betting: Players have another round of betting based on the strength of their hand with the flop cards.   

Turn: One more community card is dealt face up.

Turn Betting: Players have another round of betting.   

River: The final community card is dealt face up.

River Betting: Players have a final round of betting.   

Showdown: If more than one player remains, they reveal their hole cards, and the player with the best five-card hand wins the pot.
