In Texas Hold'em the dealer shall only deal two cards to each online poker player. The player to his left will post the small blind and the person to his left will post the big blind. For each round in a game of online poker, you'll be asked to bet, raise or fold.

The dealer shall reveal up to five cards and by combining the two cards you're holding, you need to be able to come up with the best possible poker hand. The one with the highest poker hand wins that particular round of poker.
