Online Poker Game Descriptions
Texas Hold'em
Texas Hold'em is one of the fastest games at a online poker
table. Consisting of four rounds of betting, it allows
between 2 and 10 Players to take part during each hand. One
of the most popular in the Multiplayer Poker range, it is
also the lowest-limit Poker game - the objective being to
finish with the best hand and ultimately win the pot.

Seven Card Stud
Seven Card Stud is a game for between 2 to 8 Players,
requiring both patience and skill. Five rounds of betting
take place during each hand, with the maximum bet being
doubled after the third round - inevitably leading to large
pots that are won by the Player with the best hand.

Seven Card Stud Hi/Lo Poker
Seven Card Stud Hi/Lo Poker is based on Seven Card Stud in
that it also consists of five rounds of betting. In this
instance, Players play for two pots - the best low hand and
the best high hand. Again the maximum bet doubles after the
third round of betting, resulting in large pots. Players are
less inclined to fold bad hands during this game, as the
highest and lowest hands split the pot equally.
Omaha Poker
Similar to both Omaha Hi/Lo Poker and Texas Hold'em, Omaha
Poker requires its 2 to 10 Players to create the best
five-card combination from a total of nine cards - the
strongest combination winning the pot. As the nine cards are
made up of four pocket cards and five community cards, the
resulting combinations are stronger than those in other
Poker games.

Five Card Stud
Winning a hand of Five Card Stud is dependent on both the
cards that Players are dealt, and the visible cards on the
table. With four rounds of betting, it is a game that
requires skill in being able to judge the strength of
individual hands, finish with the best hand, and win the
pot.
