Texas Holdem

Far and away the most popular variety of poker, Texas Holdem exploded in popularity thanks to exposure on TV, slow acceptance into mainstream culture and the meteoric rise of poker online.

Omaha

Having little to do with the location in Nebraska, you'll often need 'the nuts' (the best possible hand) to succeed in Omaha poker.

7 Card Stud

Seven card stud is the most popular version of stud poker, and is played between two and eight players. Every player is dealt a total of seven cards, three of them face down, and the other four face up.

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.
