“Pocket cards” are the two cards which are dealt to each player in Texas hold ‘em and Omaha hold ‘em at the start of a round and remain secret from other players until the end of the round. These cards are also called “hole cards”.

Pocket cards are the basis of each player’s hand, and they play an important role in determining the strength of a hand and making strategic decisions during the round. Pocket cards can be used in combination with community cards on the table to build the best possible poker hand.
