Texas Holdem

Texas Holdem is the world’s most popular form of Poker where players are dealt two cards prior to a voluntary betting round. Ultimately five cards are dealt face up, for all the players to use, to make the best five card combination from the two cards in their hand and the five community cards on the board. There is no definitive birth date of Texas Hold'em , but it is generally accepted that the origins of the game began in Texas in the early 1900s. It is commonly said that "Texas Hold’em takes a minute to learn and a lifetime to master."

Omaha poker

Similar to Texas Holdem, Omaha is a community card game, where players must make their best hand combination from the five community and four hole cards available. The difference here is that players are limited to using only three community cards and two hole cards. Omaha is generally played as Pot Limit, but No Limit can be found both live and online. Omaha is rapidly gaining popularity as experienced Texas Holdem poker players seek new and exciting variations.

7 Card Stud

Seven Card Stud is a variant of stud poker. Prior to the rapid growth and popularity of Texas Holdem, both online and live, 7 Card Stud was the most popular variation of poker. Players are dealt a combination of cards, two face down and one face up. From there, five additional upcards will be dealt, punctuated by a round of betting between each card. This variation of poker does not involve community cards and the fact players can see the majority of other player’s hand makes for interesting betting and play.
