While Texas Hold’Em and Omaha are the most popular games of poker, there are many variations of the game of poker played all over the world and in casinos. There are several variations of both Texas Hold’Em and Omaha as well.
The three variations of Texas Hold’Em are limit, pot limit and no limit. The rules remain the same for all three. The difference in the games is the betting limits. In limit Texas Hold’Em, each player can only bet a maximum of four times during any one hand. These are:
In Omaha poker, each player receives four cards from the dealer instead of two, as in Texas Hold’Em. This difference makes Omaha a very different game.
Sometimes players will not have anything in their hands and have to rely on making winning combinations with the flop cards. You can use two of the cards to make a low combination, which consists of cards eight or below. A high hand will consist of cards eight or above.
Pineapple poker falls in between Texas Hold’Em and Omaha. One variation of this game is often called Crazy Pineapple. The dealer deals out three cards to each player and they must choose one of these to discard. Then they use the five cards the dealer turns over in the flop, the turn and the river to make winning combinations with the two cards they choose to keep. In regular Pineapple poker, the discard occurs before the flop and in Crazy Pineapple, the discard takes place after the flop.
Stud is another poker game that has many variations. Seven card stud is the one most often played in casinos, whereas Seven Card Stud High-Low is played in tournaments. In the casino version, each player receives two cards dealt face down. The fourth, fifth and sixth cards are dealt to each player but they face upwards so that all the other players can see them. Then the seventh card is dealt face down. The players can use any of the cards to make a winning hand of five cards, but in the high-low version the winning hand must be eight or better.
Five Card Draw is a very common poker game. In this game, the dealer deals five cards to each player, who then choose to keep some, all or none of the cards. There is a second dealing round in which they receive more cards to make up a hand of five. They then place their bets based on their hand or if they have a losing hand they fold. In order to receive the second cards, players have to place an ante, which is decided at the start of the game. The betting starts after all players receive their second cards.

* BetIn No limit Texas Hold’Em, the amount a player raises has to be equal to or more than a previous raise in the same round. The maximum amount any player can raise is the size of the chip stack. In the pot limit variation of the game the raise amount has to be equal to or greater than the previous raise in the same round. However, the size of the pot is the total of the active pot plus the amounts of all the bets on the table.
* Raise
* Re-raise
* Cap (this is the final bet)
