Part One - The Game of No-Limit Hold'em

No-limit hold'em is a game of incomplete information where the size of a bet and the position it comes from carry as much meaning as the cards. Chips are a weapon: the ability to bet any amount at any time lets you put opponents to decisions for their whole stack - which is why stack sizes, measured in big blinds, frame every decision here. The skills the rest of the learning section builds (hand selection, position, betting with a purpose, pot odds, and reading opponents) are all tools for deciding well when you cannot see the other hand. There are no drills in this introductory Part; carry its mindset into every hand that follows.
