Omaha is another very popular poker game that most casinos and online casinos offer to their players. Omaha is much
like Texas Holdem. The main difference between the two types of poker is that players will be dealt four cards face down
instead of the two they get in Holdem. Since this game is so similar, anyone who is already familiar with the rules of
Texas Holdem will have no problem picking up Omaha and will be able to enjoy it quickly. There are other variations of
Omaha that players can learn if they want to put a little bit of a spin on the game.
Texas Holdem:
Seven card stud is yet one more popular poker game online players will have no problem finding at most of the online
poker sites. In seven card stud the players will be dealt two cards face down and a single card face up. The player who
is showing the lowest card will put in a small bet. The other players can fold, bet, or raise. Then, one more card will
be dealt to the players face up. The betting will happen again, only this time the player with the highest card showing
will begin the bet. Finally, a fifth card will be dealt to the players face up and more betting will occur. The sixth card
is dealt face up as well and more betting takes place. The last and seventh card gets dealt to the players face down and
one final round of betting will take place. The player with the best hand wins.
