Since YouTube has been banned in certain countries, and maybe not everyone understood the video tutorial, this is written instruction on how to play Texas Hold'em. I'll try my best to explain the game, but I can't say I'm the best at explaining games to people. So please cut me some slack.

Before you read the following instructions, I did make some pictures to give certain people a better idea of what's going on. This honestly isn't to be condescending in any way, as I only did it because having tutored kids a few times—I know that each person learns differently, whether it be through auditory, read-write, or visual learning.

That being said, continue on!

How to play:

So basically, in this game for your task, you're going to have a game of 15 players. A normal game of poker normally has 6, but there isn't a limit to the amount of people who can play. Within those 15 players, you're going to have one person who posts a small blind, and one person who posts the big blind. These blinds are bets, so to speak, and the small blind is always smaller than the big blind that is posted, as the name suggests. So if I post a big blind of $17, the person to the left of me, might post a big blind of $40. Remember, that in a normal game of Texas Hold'em, you go in order from your left, and whoever hosts the small blind, the person to their left hosts the big blind. The rest of the players who aren't hosting a blind, get to play for free, but in the next round, they will have to host a blind, going in order from their left.
