How do you play poker with 2 people?

Answer 1

Technically you play it the same as if you are playing with 6 or 9 people.

The dealer distributes each player 2 cards (assuming you are playing Texas Hold'Em). The dealer is always the Big Blind.

Other then these rules, the game runs in the same way as 6 or 9 handed Poker.

Everything else is the same. Just deal cards to 2 players instead of the amount you usually play with. It is also known as heads-up.

Answer 2

Play it with 5 people, then add three more to the mix

You sit around a table, collect your chips and deal the cards.

Answer 3

You play it normally but only hand out cards to the other person and yourself. If you are playing with chips, just divide them in half.
