Poker variations (Families)

  • Draw Poker

    Generally considered more suitable for home games and other social settings, Draw poker is also one of the easiest forms of poker to learn.

  • Stud

    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

    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

    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

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