德州扑克 (Dézhōupūkè): Texas hold'em (poker variant)

The most popular variant of poker globally, named after its origin in Texas (德州 = Texas in this context, literally 'De state'). Reached Chinese audiences through WSOP broadcasts and online apps around 2010. Briefly had a booming mobile-game scene before being shut down in China by a 2018 crackdown.

usage

扑克 alone means 'poker' more broadly (or just 'playing cards'). 德州 here disambiguates this specific variant. Often just called 德扑ko for short in online chat.
