The chief difference is in the way the cards are dealt. In "regular" poker, or draw poker to give it its proper name, each player is dealt 5 cards which are unique to him and him alone... he may then trade any number of these cards for new ones from the deck to try and improve his hand. In Texas Hold'Em poker, each player is dealt only 2 cards to begin the hand... then there are up to 5 "community cards" dealt face up on the centre of the table which EVERY player may use to form their hand, so players form the best 5 card hand possible from the 5 community cards and the 2 cards they are dealt at the start which are unique to them and them alone. There are obviously differences in betting - how and when it occurs - but any further differences between the two types of poker is really just a consequence of the one major difference explained above.

I am not positive on the answer but will give it a try. Instead of putting in ante with each hand, You can just put a certain amount in the pot and call a quitting time for Texas Hold em.Winner takes all. or Did you mean the way the cards are dealt?

There is no such thing as "regular" poker -- there are many variations. There is a draw poker and stud poker. Texas Hold 'Em is closer to stud, but the center cards can be counted as part of the hand by every player. I'd suggest Googling for the rules and strategy for each type of poker -- Wikipedia usually has helpful articles. Also, the betting may be limit or table stakes; the pros usually prefer the latter.
