Texas
Hold’em: This game is also referred to as "Hold’em" and
is one of the most popular games in North America and Europe.
The game proceeds as follows: A dealer button is placed to determine a nominal dealer. The player next to the dealer button on a clockwise rotation pays the small blind, normally half of the small bet (i.e. $1, which would be half of the small bet in a game with $2/$4 stakes). Next player in line posts the big blind, which is equivalent to the small bet (i.e. $2 in this example). Each player is then dealt two hole cards, also referred to as pocket cards, which are only visible to the player. As betting completes after the cards have been dealt, three community cards, which are cards placed in the middle of the table face up and visible to all players, are dealt (this is called the flop). Another round of betting takes place, and a fourth card is dealt (called the turn). Again, a betting round is completed before the last card is dealt (called the river). Each player who is still in the game will now need to take part in a final round of bets, where his or her hand is always comprised of the best possible five card combination of pocket and community cards. |
Omaha:
Omaha is a game derived from Texas Hold'em. The only
difference is that in Omaha players are dealt four pocket cards,
and their final hand needs to be comprised of two out of those
four pocket cards, and three community cards, regardless if a
better hand could be achieved using more or less pocket or
community cards. A dealer button is placed to determine a nominal dealer. The player next to the dealer button on a clockwise rotation pays the small blind, normally half of the small bet (i.e. $1, which would be half of the small bet in a game with $2/$4 stakes). Next player in line posts the big blind, which is equivalent to the small bet (i.e. $2 in this example). Each player is then dealt four hole cards, also referred to as pocket cards, which are only visible to the player. As betting completes after the cards have been dealt, three community cards, which are cards placed in the middle of the table face up and visible to all players, are dealt (this is called the flop). Another round of betting takes place, and a fourth card is dealt (called the turn). Again, a betting round is completed before the last card is dealt (called the river). Each player who is still in the game will now need to take part in a final round of bets, where his or her hand is always comprised of the best possible combination of two pocket cards and three community cards. |
5 Card
Stud: This is the original form of stud poker, and is
still played by many poker players despite 7 card stud being a
more popular form today. The obvious difference is that each
player receives (you guessed it) 5 cards. The game proceeds as explained below. To begin a round, each player pays the ante which will be a fraction of the smaller bet (bets could for example be at $10/$20, and the ante could then be $1). Next, all players are dealt one card face down, and one card face up. The player with the lowest card facing up begins betting by making a bring-in bet. This bet will be half the smaller bet (in our example $5). If two players have the same value as the lowest card, the rank will be ordered by suit going from clubs as the lowest through diamonds, hearts and spades as the highest. Betting proceeds and players may bet up to the smaller bet ($10 in our case). In the second round, players are dealt another card face up. The player with the highest combination of cards facing up begins betting, this will be the player nearest the dealer’s left in case of a tie. Bets will normally be a smaller bet ($10), but can be a high bet ($20) if one or more players have a pair in their cards facing up. The third round is equal to the second, except that all bets must be done at the high level ($20). In the fourth and last round, players are dealt a card face up, and with one card face down and the remaining four face up, the final betting round begin. The winner will be the player with the strongest five card poker hand. |
