Poker Variations

The worldwide obsession with poker is no accident. Many of us have been playing poker in casinos for years. Many more of us have played poker at home with our family and friends for even longer.

Draw Poker Variations
In these types of games, players receive a full hand on the initial deal, and then discard some of those cards, which are replaced with new cards from the deck.

Stud Poker Variations
In most types of Stud games, the players are dealt an initial amount of cards, and then one more card each time a betting round is completed until seven (or five in Five Card Stud) cards are dealt. In a few variations, the players are dealt all of their cards initially, and then reveal cards at certain mandated times during the betting rounds.

Shared-Card Poker Variations
In these types of poker, players are dealt a small amount of cards individually, and then cards are placed in the center of the table that are common to all players.

Miscellaneous Poker Variations
These games are all poker games that use a standard ranking of hands, but aren't dealt as any of the variations above.

Non-Poker Variations
These games are card games that do not use the standard ranking of poker hands to determine the winner.

I am so sorry about this but I didn't really remember that there is already a thread on this.
Wish I could delete it.
