There are many different types of poker games that people can play, each with its own set of rules and variations. Here is a list of some of the most common poker games:
Texas Hold’em: This is the most common poker game, and it’s played with a standard deck of 52 cards. Players are dealt three cards face down, and then must make a five-card hand by combining these cards with any other cards they may have.
The best hand is two pairs, a straight, and a flush (five cards of the same rank).
Omaha: This game is similar to Texas Hold’em, but players only receive two cards face down and must make three-card hands. The best hand is two pairs, a flush, and a straight (five cards of the same rank).
7-card stud: In this game, each player starts with seven cards (two face down and five in hand). Players must combine these seven cards with any other five cards they may have in order to form a valid poker hand.
The best hand is two pair, a full house (three of a kind plus two pairs), or an eight-card stud (four of a kind plus three of a kind).
Pai Gow: This game is similar to seven card stud, but the players start with either four or five cards instead of seven. Like in seven card stud, players must combine these four or five cards with any other five cards they may have in order to form a valid poker hand.
