Poker games

There is a wide variety of poker games available on the internet. Below we give you an overview of these games, give you a short explanation of the games itself and provide you with links to online poker rooms where you can play these games.

Texas Hold'Em poker

Texas Hold'Em poker is one of the most popular poker game in the world. Ten people can play this game at once. Each player receives two cards (also called hole cards) and five community cards are dealt by the dealer. Community cards are cards that are dealt to the table. Players can use these cards to complete their hand.

The players can then bet on each new community card to complete their hand, where they try to make the best five card hand out of the five community cards and the two hole cards. The player does not have to use the two hole cards, it is his / her own choice to use the two cards, only one or maybe even none of them.

Poker rooms where you can play Texas Hold'Em poker are: The Gaming Club and Golden Tiger Poker.

Omaha poker

Omaha poker is the popular four card poker game. Each player receives four cards from the dealer (these are also called pocket cards). The dealer then deals five community cards. Community cards are cards that are dealt to the table. Players can use these cards to complete their hand.

The players can then bet on each new community card to complete their hand, where they try to make the best five card hand out of the two of their pocket cards and three of the community cards.

Poker rooms where you can play Omaha poker are: Virtual City Poker and River Belle Poker.

Omaha Hi/Lo poker

Omaha Hi/Lo poker is probably one of the most challenging poker game versions. The cards are dealt the same way as with normal Omaha Poker. Each player receives four cards from the dealer (also known as pocket cards). The dealer then deals five community cards (these are cards that are dealt to the table). The players can use these cards to complete their hand.

The players can then bet on each new community card to complete their hand, where they try to make a five card hand out of two of their pocket cards and three of the community cards.

The difference between Omaha Poker and Omaha Hi/Lo Poker is that in Hi/Lo the pot is split between both the highest and the lowest hand. If a hand beats an 8 it does not qualify as a low hand. If none of the hands qualify as a low hand the pot will go to the highest hand.

Poker rooms where you can play Omaha poker are: 7 Sultans Poker and Aztec Riches Poker.
