Texas Hold'em
Verdict
The two players left of the button post forced bets: the small blind and the big blind.; Each player is dealt two private cards ("hole cards") face down.; The first betting round begins with the player to the left of the big blind.
Why people argue about this
People often assume that only the blinds are dealt cards in Texas Hold'em, which is incorrect. In fact, each player receives two private cards face down before the betting starts, even though they're not part of the initial deal process as defined by Section 3. This oversight can lead to misunderstandings about who has what cards and when.
