No-limit Texas Hold'em in poker
Definition
The most popular poker game: each player has two hole cards and may bet any amount up to their whole stack.
Five community cards are dealt in three stages: the flop, turn and river. The best five-card hand wins, using any combination of hole cards and board.
The ability to go all-in at any time makes no-limit hold'em a game of pressure and stack depth, and it is the format of the WSOP Main Event.
