Texas Hold Em

texas hold em is basically an advanced form of five card poker...i will show you how i learned to play this game. pictures are a tab bit blurry but you can tell what they are...

Step 1 The deck

this is the deck...duh..typically in texas hold em one person is nominated as the dealer...but before you can deal you have to meet the blind..in this example we set the blind at 3 chips. the blind is basically an opening wager that all player must be able to meet...or they are out

2. in this picture you can see three chips have been added to the pot...the cost is split between the players...in this case one player payed 1 the other payed 2...btw the pot is basically the storage area for all the wagered chips

Not much in te way of instructions, as Lemonie said. I play Texas Hold'em all the time... so can say with a fair amount of certainty you've come nowhere near close to teaching someone how to play. You need to include the various winning hands (and their hierarchy), advice on how to know when to call, when to fold...perhaps even a bit on bluffing though that would just be bonus material. Also; better pictures, actual chips (or cash) to display different denominations, and above all, a lot more detail. Kudos on deciding to make an instructable, but try to be a bit more thorough!

actually, to see an example of a good instructable for this topic, there is a link on the bottomof your instructable - http://www.instructables.com/id/Learn-To-Play-Poker---Texas-Hold-Em-aka-Texas-Ho/ - now that is a good instructable. (not mine, not affiliated with them, just followed the link after posting the above comment.)

I don't really understand this. While I can understand Poker, for a good Instructable you need a bit more detail. For example:
but before you can deal you have to meet the blind..in this example we set the blind at 3 chips
What is "the blind"?

2. in this picture you can see three chips have been added to the pot...the cost is split between the players...in this case one player payed 1 the other payed 2
What is "the pot"?

I know a bit about these things, and you do too, but it's not easy for people who don't (the point of doing this)
