There are lots of different types of poker games out there that you can learn to play and many of them can be played online in one of the many online poker sites. Most people will end up specializing in one poker game, but it becomes tiresome playing the game everyday and therefore many poker players learn how to play multiple poker games. The more poker games that you can play, the more opportunities you’re going to have to make money in poker for the most part. Below is a list of popular poker games that you should learn how to play if you don’t already know how.

* Texas Holdem is the most popular poker game played today and can be played in every single online poker room. The game is played by dealing out two cards to each player. After the cards are dealt there is a betting round before the flop is shown. After the flop there is another betting round and then the dealer will place the turn card out on the board. After another betting round the final community card known as the river card is placed on the board and then there is one final round of betting.

* Omaha Hi and Omaha Hi/Lo are similar games which are both very popular right now. In these two poker games you’re dealt out four cards. After the deal the game is played very similarly to Holdem with the same betting rounds and board cards. The only difference between Omaha Hi and Omaha Hi/Lo is that you can potentially split the pot in Omaha Hi/Lo with both a high hand and low hand winning half the pot.

* Seven Card Stud is another popular poker game, but if you don’t know how to play it then I would read through the rules carefully. It’s quite different from other poker games and can be a little confusing at first, but with a bit of time you’ll be able to play the game. As the name suggests you’ll end up being dealt seven cards if you stay in the hand until the end. There are also no community cards in this game.

* Five Card Draw use to be the most popular poker game played around the house, but it has been overtaken by other poker games now. In five card draw you’ll be dealt five cards to start the hand. After the deal you’ll be able to discard the cards you don’t want in your hand and the dealer will give you new cards. You can play this game with as many discard rounds as you want, but generally the game is only played with 1-2 discard rounds.

* Razz is the only poker game where the objective is to try and have the lowest ranked hand possible. You can play razz on FullTilt today. Apart from needing the lowest hand to win the game is very similar to seven card stud. Once you learn how to play seven card stud you’ll basically understand how to play Razz as well. Razz is a growing online poker game that keeps popping up in many of the top poker rooms.

* H.O.R.S.E. Poker is the most popular mixed poker game out there and involves playing five separate poker games. The five poker games rotate every time around the table so you’ll constantly need to switch gears while playing this game. If you’re looking for a change of pace from the typical poker game and want to have some fun then I would recommend trying out one of the mixed poker games available in the online poker rooms.
