Many people have watched Texas Hold'em tournaments on television and it looks easy to play. However before you race down to the casino and sign up for a high stakes tournament you need to learn the basics of the game and get some playing experience in low limit games. The matches you see on television are No Limit Texas Hold’em games. That means that at any time a player can bet all of his chips, "all in" as it where. This is a great format for tournaments but as a beginning player you will want to first learn to play Limit Texas Hold’em. Limit games have structured betting rounds and therefore you are limited to the amount of money you can bet during each round. More precisely you will want to play Low Limit Texas Hold’em as you learn the game. Some of the low limit games you will find in the cardroom have a betting structure of $2/4, $3/6 $4/8. After you gain experience you can move up the higher limits or "No Limit" if you desire, but you must learn to walk before you can run.
