Poker is a game that’s been around for centuries and has several variations to choose from. Whether you’re just getting into the game or an experienced player, exploring different versions of the game can help you better understand the rules and strategies. Here’s a quick guide to the most popular types of poker games:

Texas Hold’em

This version of poker is by far the most popular, with different tournaments all around the world. It involves two hidden cards (the hole cards) as well as five community cards dealt face-up on the table. Players can build their best hand out of any combination of these 7 cards for a chance at taking home a winning hand and a prize!

Omaha Hi/Lo

Similar to Texas Hold’em, in this version players will receive four-hole cards instead of two. As in Hold’em, players must make their best 5-card hand using any combination of their hole cards and community cards; however, there are two pot limits – one half goes to the player with the best high hand while the other half goes to the player with the best low hand (ace-2-3-4-5).

Seven Card Stud

In this old-school variation, each player receives seven distinct cards – three face down (which they don’t show anyone) and four face up (which everyone can see). Players then try to form their best 5-card combination from these seven cards; before reaching this stage though, there are multiple rounds of betting during which players can raise or fold depending on how confident they feel about their hands.

Exploring these different variations is sure to keep any poker enthusiast entertained for hours on end – so why not give them all a try today?
