Different Types of Poker

There are a variety of different poker games available, both online and in land based casinos and all vary in style according to the manner the cards are dealt. Other elements that affect the style of such games include whether a higher hand or lower hand wins the kitty.

Most poker games featured usually follow a similar set play but in total there are generally four basic categories that exist; these include straight, stud, seven card stud, draw and community.

In Straight poker players are allowed to place a wager in one round with a complete hand being dealt. In order to win the kitty in the final round, straight poker cards of five can be used as a final showdown.

The highest possible straight is the Ace, King, Queen, Jack, and Ten and the lowest is five, four, three, two and one.

Straight poker is extremely popular in the United Kingdom and is played in many land-based casinos as well as at online establishments.

Stud card poker differs in the fact that the cards are dealt in a set combination of face down and face up rounds; a round of betting then follows this.

The most played game of poker is the seven-card stud. Each player receives two extra cards from the dealer in this version. The seven-card stud comes in the shape of three cards facing down and four facing up, the player must then play their best hand from the existing cards.

There are also several variations of stud card poker available, including razz, eight or better high low stud, Texas Hold’em Poker, and seven card. All suit different abilities; this is why it is important to play a few free games in order to determine the best style to suit you! Ensure you find the best poker games with the best prizes to win.
