Chapter 4: Different Types Of Poker You Can Try
Here we’ll talk about some variations of the game that you can begin to take on. Texas Hold’em Texas Hold’em is one of the most popular types of poker today. In fact, it is much more common to find than any other type of poker being played. Most consider this to be the best game of poker that you can play, for many reasons. You’ll soon see why when you set out to play the game. Two to ten players can play the game, giving you more range during the game. One of the best parts of the game is that it is a fast paced form of poker. The rules are simplistic and the action is there, constantly. While we could dedicate an entire book to this one game, here’s a brief look at how the game is played. The dealer should have some sort of marking of being the dealer. That’s because every player will have a turn at being the dealer. An ante is created. The player to the dealer’s left starts with a small blind which is the first blind bet. The second person will then place what is called a big blind, because it is bigger than the first player’s bet. The term “blind” is used because you don’t know what the cards are yet, so you are blindly placing your pet. The dealer then deals two cards face done to each player. These are called Private Cards (not seen by anyone else.) At this point, the player that is to the left of the person that placed the big blind will start the first betting round in the game. Here, you can call, raise or fold. Next, three more cards are drawn but are face up. They are placed in the center of the table so everyone can see them. These are called community cards. All players can “use” them in their hand. The second round of betting begins with the person that is to the left of the dealer. This round is called the “flop” round. The fourth community card is then drawn and placed with the others. The third level of betting is done and this time is called the “turn.” In this round, the betting amounts that are placed are doubles of the others. Finally, the firth community card is dealt. This round is called the “river” round. Like in a standard game of poker, the showdown starts where players show their hands to determine who has won the pot. Texas Hold’em poker is fun because it goes quickly. While it may seem more complex, and it is, the same poker rules that you have learned apply. This time, though, most of your cards are in the community cards rather than in your hand. Omaha Hi Another type of poker that you may have heard about is Omaha Hi. This game is not as well known as Texas Hold’em but is still one of the regularly played games. Again, two to ten players can play the game. Here, you have four rounds of betting. You can also play Omaha Hi Lo which is another version of this game. The rules are the same as Omaha Hi but each player creates the highest and/or the lowest valued qualifying hand using his cards and the community cards. The main differences in the Omaha Hi game and standard or Texas Hold’em Poker include having four private cards along with five community cards. Here are some of the rules to the game. · Each player is dealt two additional cards, (a total of four) private cards at the beginning of play. · When the showdown happens, you must use only two of your private cards along with three of the community cards on the table, no more, no less. These are the only two differences between Omaha Hi and Texas Hold’em! The main rule differences between Omaha Hi and Omaha Hi Lo include these rules: · The pot is split between the person that has the highest hand and the person that has the lowest hand. · For you to have a qualifying low hand there can not be any cards above the 8 in your hand. Omaha Hi is an easy game to play. Go ahead and get started! Seven Card Stud Here is a game that you have probably heard of as well. In Seven card stud, there are some differences from other forms of poker. Because it is a popular form of the game, you should want to learn how to play this one as well. Seven card stud is played with two to eight people. You will place a bet that’s part of the ante and then there are an additional five betting rounds. In this version of poker, each player will receive three cards face down by the dealer. They will also receive four more cards that are face up. The players work to create the highest value in their hand, using any of the cards that they have. Five cards are used to make up the final hand. Here’s how the game play works: · The dealer deals two face down cards and one face up card to each player before the first round of betting happens. · After each betting round, a face up card is dealt to each player, for three rounds. At this point, each player has their original three cards and three more face up cards. · Finally, a face down card is dealt in the final round of betting. · The showdown happens in which the winner of the game is determined. Seven card stud hi lo is another version of this game. Here, the rules of the game are the same. The difference is that players try to create either the highest or the lowest valued hand. They can do this using any combination of five cards in their poker hand. The Hi Lo consideration is the same as other games with this same variation, such as Omaha Hi Lo in our previous example. Caribbean Stud Poker Caribbean stud poker is a bit different in how the game is played. If you notice, all of the poker games that we’ve gone though have the same goal: Develop a hand that is better than all of the other players have. You win with the best hand against the other players. Yet, in Caribbean stud poker, things are flipped around a bit. Instead of playing against all of the other players, you are now playing against the casino or the room. The “bank” is the dealer. The bank pays out all of the winning bets in the game. In other words, you are playing against the dealer and therefore you have to beat the dealer’s hand to win the game. Here’s how this one is played. · An ante is created just like in other poker games. · Each player in the game, which includes the dealer, is dealt five face down cards. One of the dealer’s cards is face up for everyone to see. · At this point, you must decide if you want to raise or fold. The rules of folding and losing your ante and bets are still true here. · To raise your bet, you must make a bet that is equal to twice the amount of the ante. · The dealer then reveals his cards. · The dealer’s hand must qualify. To do this, he must have an ace or king. For example, the lowest qualifying hand that the dealer can have is an ace, king, 4, 3, and a 2. The ace and the king must be present. If he does not have this, the player then wins his ante and the raise. · If the dealer does qualify, the player will lose both his ante and his raise if the dealer’s hand is higher. · If the player’s hand is better, the ante will then pay even money and your raise. These are just a few of the many variations of poker that there are. As you can see, you can change this game in many ways and still enjoy the benefits of playing it! |
