Types of Online Poker Games
For all of you that enjoy playing poker here is some type
of online poker games and how each poker game is played.
Texas Hold 'em
Texas Hold 'em is one of the more popular online poker games.
To play Texas Hold 'em, Rules & Strategies.
There is also a Texas Hold 'em tutorial that takes you through the possible starting
poker hands. Just knowing when not to stay in can keep your bankroll from disappearing in a flash, and keep you around the
poker table for a lot longer.
Omaha Poker
Omaha is another popular poker card game online.
For those who have never played Omaha, it bears a striking resemblance to Texas
Hold 'em. Players are dealt hole cards, four of them. You may only use two when putting together your hand, so if you see four aces in your hand, it's a bittersweet moment.
Besides the hole cards, there are five community cards placed on the table. You must use three of the community cards to finish your hand. Just remember, "Two from the hole, three from the flop. Two from the hole, three from the flop."
Omaha is basically Hold 'em with more cards to choose from when putting together your hand. These extra cards mean that putting together a strong hand is easier. More strong hands, more times you can stay in until the end. I think that makes the
poker game more exciting.
Omaha Hi-Low Poker
Omaha Hi/Low follows the exact same rules as Omaha Poker. The only difference is that the
poker pot may be split in two, and divided between the highest hand and the lowest hands at the
poker table. This depends on whether or not there is a qualifying low hand.
For a low hand to qualify, it must be made up of different numbered cards, the largest of which is not greater than an 8. That's why this
poker game is sometimes called Omaha 8 or Greater.
Obviously splitting the pot introduces new angles of play. Not everyone staying in the
poker hand is playing against you, in a sense. You may be playing for the low
poker hand of the round, while other players are vying for the high hand. Since the
poker pot is split, the winnings aren't always as high, but the action nearly doubles.
Seven Card Stud Poker
7 Card Stud is another basic poker game. Much like the very popular Texas
Hold 'em. For anyone who hasn't played Stud Poker, the rules are simple. You are dealt two hole cards, face down and one card face up. Then the betting rounds begin. The next three cards are dealt face up. The final, seventh card is dealt face down.
Poker Players then use their best five cards to make the strongest hand possible. Unlike
Hold 'em and Omaha, there are no community cards. The only cards you can use are those that have been dealt to you.
7 Card Stud seems to be the Stud Poker game of choice on the net.
Seven Card Stud Hi/Low
Seven Card Hi/Low is, as expected, at the split-pot version of the popular Stud Poker game.
Poker Players try to gather either the highest, or lowest possible hands. And if there is a qualifying low hand at the table, the pot is split.
A qualifying low hand contains different numbered cards, none of them can be higher than an 8. That's why the
poker game is sometimes called 7 Card Stud, 8 or Better.
Five Card Stud
5 Card Stud is another Stud Poker game. It is not as popular as the seven card version. At least not on the net.
If you've never played 5 Card Stud, it is a scaled down version of the seven card
poker game. Each poker player is dealt one hole card (face down) and one card face up. Then the betting begins.
Draw 5 Poker
Draw 5 is one of the most popular kitchen table poker games around. It is the poker games in many places.
The World Series of Poker seems to have gotten everyone on the Texas Hold'em kick.
The poker game is played by dealing every player a hand of five cards. All the cards are dealt at once, and none of them are dealt face up. Every
poker person at the poker table holds a hand that only he/she knows the contents of, so you'll be betting against unknown cards in this
poker game.
After the cards are dealt, a round of betting takes place. After the
betting the poker players have a chance to replace cards in their hand, just as you do in a video poker game. You may choose to replace as many cards as you wish.
Once you have replaced the weak cards in your hand, you have your final hand. Now, the last round of betting begins. After this final round of betting, the
poker player with the highest hand wins the pot.
Poker Players are then dealt a card, followed by a round of betting. This continues until the
poker players are dealt five cards. Four of the five cards are face up, for all the table to see. With only one hole card, it's hard to surprise anyone, and many
poker players can see strong hands coming.
