Finding the Best Poker Game for You

Here I have broken down each of the top 5 poker Variations for your convenience.

No Limit Hold'em
This is by far the most commonly played poker game being played today. It has gained so much popularity that it has spawned several television games. The game starts with the posting of the blinds, after this each player receives the only 2 cards that are exclusive to them in this game. The dealer will then deal 5 cards to the center of the table and will turn the first 3 cards over. This is the first time you can really get a feel for your hand. At this point it goes back and forth between a betting round and the flipping over of a card. Once all the cards have been turned over and all the bets are in the cards are revealed and the player with the best hand wins.

Red Dog Poker:
Red Dog Poker is not technically a poker game, but it is played in the casinos poker rooms. The game is very fast paced and easy to learn which is why it is so popular. The dealer deals the player 2 cards and the player has to bet if the next card will fall between the first 2 cards. Let us say the first 2 cards are a 5 and a 9 then you are betting that the next card will be a 6, 7 or an 8. The closer the first 2 cards are the higher the payout if you are correct.

Caribbean Stud Poker:
In Caribbean Stud Poker the player only has the option to play or fold. The dealer deals the player and himself 5 cards. The dealer will turn over 1 of his cards then the player may look at their hand. If they decide to play the hand the bet is automatically raised. The dealer will then turn over his card and whoever has the best hand wins. In this poker variation players play only against the dealer and not the other players like in blackjack.

Three Card Poker:
Three Card Poker is fun because of the ease and speed of the game. The dealer will deal each player 3 cards, and the object of the game is to make the best 3 card hand that you can. You can also bet on what is called Pair Plus. This means if you get at least a pair you can win this bet. Just like in Caribbean stud you are playing against the casinos dealer and not the other players at the table. This makes it possible for there to be more then one winner per round.

Poker:
This version of poker is the basic and oldest poker version. It is called Five Card Draw Poker. This version can be played with and ante or a blind. It is most commonly played with an ante. The dealer will then go around dealing 1 card to each player till everyone has 5 cards in their hands. At this point you have a betting round or you can fold, but most people will stay in till the next round unless you have absolutely nothing. in the draw round you may get rid of some of your 5 cards and receive new ones. This is where many of the players will fold. After this the remaining players can make a final bet then it is time to put your cards on the table and declare a winner. In this version it is winner take all.

Now that you know the different games you are ready to try your luck in any casino poker room.
