No Limit Texas Hold’em Poker

Anytime you make a bet with the best of it, where the odds are in your favor, you have earned something on that bet, whether you actually win or lose the bet. By the same token when you make a bet with the worst of it, where the odds are not in your favor, you have lost something, whether you actually win or lose the bet.

David Sklansky – The Theory of Poker

No-Limit Texas Hold’em is the most popular variant of Poker, a family of card games where participants bet against each other in a fair game to try and win each other’s money (in a cash game) or chips (in a tournament). The game incorporates randomness and incomplete information. Players try to maximize winnings and can attempt to mislead or put pressure on their opponents, but they must be cautious not to let human emotions such as fear and greed get in the way of executing their strategy.

How to play

Go to Lightning-Poker.com

  • Deposit cash to your poker account by entering the amount in the Deposit window and paying the invoice with a Lightning Wallet.
  • To withdraw your sats use your Lightning wallet to generate an invoice for a valid amount and paste the invoice in the Withdraw window. Very small fees may apply.
