500 Cards

500 is a trick-taking game for 2-6 players, usually and most enjoyably played with 4 people. 500 is largely a social game. Players play in pairs, with paired players usually placed diagonally opposite to each other. Tactics often revolve around using various means to indicate to one's partner information about the hand one possesses, including agreements to make certain bids depending on whether one possesses specific cards (rather than on what the player believes they can realistically win), and surreptitious signals (by the tone of voice, exact words used to indicate bids, and so on).

Texas hold 'em (also known as hold'em or holdem) is a variation of the standard card game of poker. The game consists of two cards being dealt face down to each player and then five community cards being placed by the dealer, with players having the option to check, bet or fold after each deal.

Individuals compete for chips contributed by the players themselves (called the pot). Because the cards are dealt randomly and outside the control of the players, each player attempts to control the amount of chips in the pot based on the hand he/she holds.
