Poker Rules
Rules for Poker Games - Texas Hold'em
Texas hold'em (in it's no limit form) is often referred to as the cadillac of poker. It's the game played at the World Series of Poker, and by far the most popular poker game to be found in any casino. It's a variation of seven card stud, where every player is dealt two cards face down, followed by five cards dealt face up in the middle of the table for everyone to use. Read on:
Texas Hold'em Poker Rules
Rules for Poker Games - Omaha Hi
Omaha Hi is a variation of Texas Hold'em. Every player is dealt four cards face down instead of two, which allows for a lot more possibilities, and increases the overall strength of most winning hands. Read on:
Omaha Hi Poker Rules.
Rules for Poker Games - Omaha Hi-Lo
Omaha Hi-Lo is more popular than Omaha Hi, and most popular in it's pot limit form. It's a split pot game, meaning half of the pot goes to the high hand, and half to the low hand. Like Omaha Hi, every player is dealt four cards face down, followed by five community cards dealt face up. Read on:

Rules for Poker Games - Seven Card Stud
7 card stud is the most popular version of stud poker, and is the most commonly played game in households worldwide. Every player is dealt a total of seven cards, three face down, and four face up. Read on:

Rules for Poker Games - Five Card Stud
Five Card Stud is a variation which has been around for hundreds of years, though the variation played in today’s casinos is much different from the five card stud games played in the 1800’s. The strategy, game play, and game flow are much different than Hold’em, the world’s most popular poker game, mostly due to the fact that vastly different hands win pots in five card stud. Five Card Stud is one of the easiest poker games to learn. It requires patience and exceptional observational skill for players to succeed. Read on:

Rules for Poker Games - Five Card Draw
Five Card Draw is one of the variations which typically spawns a lot of home-made variations due to its simple nature. Five Card Draw is one of the easiest poker games to learn. It is a poker game which requires a lot of luck to succeed since there is relatively little betting involved and hands can change so dramatically after the draw. Read on:
Five Card Draw Poker Rules.
Rules for Poker Games - Lowball and Razz
In both Lowball and Razz the object is to get the lowest hand. This really twists the hand ranking chart around, but luckily players do not usually have to worry about learning how to tell the best hand. Read on:
Lowball and Razz Poker Rules
Rules for Poker Games - Crazy Pineapple
Crazy Pineapple is a variation of Texas Hold’Em. There are two main differences in the game however, which make it very different and very interesting. Give it a try when you need a change of pace. It is not offered at most poker sites. UltimateBet is one of the few places you can find this unusual game. Read on:
Crazy Pineapple Poker Rules
Rules for Poker Games - Triple Draw
Triple Draw is the first game where the highest hand does not win at least a portion of the pot. Triple Draw is a Low Hand game. The most common variation of Triple Draw, and the one I am going over the rules for, is called Deuce to Seven. This refers to the best possible low. Another version called Ace to Five is also played and I have put the differences between the two games at the bottom of this page. This game is not often played online but can be found at UltimateBet. Read on:
Triple Draw Poker Rules
But Before You Start ...
Remember to have patience and fun while you learn!
This is not a quick way to making thousands of dollars per day as some of the salesletters out there tell you. On the other hand it is not going to be brutally hard either if you apply yourself. And if you have fun while learning then time stops being an issue.
It takes a minute to learn, but a lifetime to master
Have Fun! Egon Vennik
