Max Number of Players in Texas Hold Em
Written February 27, 2008 by Jack Jones
In Texas Hold’em, you do not discard the top card of the deck prior to dealing a round. So Texas Hold’em could be played by up to 22 players (44 player cards, 3 burn cards, and 5 community cards) sitting at the same table (you better have a big table).
Since Hold’em is generally played among 2 to10 people, you’ll only see a spread larger than that late at night when the poker room is short a dealer, in tournaments when they occasionally combine two tables, or if you have some kind of strange home game going where you like lots of players and lots of action in each hand.
As for myself, I’ve never sat in on anything larger than a 12-handed game.
