Texas Hold'em

Texas Hold'em

Texas Holdโ€™em is considered the purest of all poker games by many poker players and is still the most popular format played online. If youโ€™re a new player, thereโ€™s no better game to play than Texas Holdโ€™em to get you up to speed with the basic rules and strategy โ€“ plus itโ€™s a lot of fun learning how to master the poker genre!

Omaha Hi

Omaha Hi

If Texas Holdโ€™em poker is the most popular poker game online, then Omaha is a close second. In Omaha, you get dealt 4 starting cards to make a hand โ€“ although you can and must only use 2 hole cards and the best five cards win. This feature makes for an exciting and action-packed game where the flops can promise staggering amounts of draws.

Discover how Omaha can improve your poker game on our Omaha Hi games page!

Omaha Hi-Lo

Omaha Hi-Lo

Omaha Hi-Lo is a draw heavy version of Omaha Hi where you can win pots with 2 made hands โ€“ a high hand and a low hand. Each winner will receive 50% of the pot at showdown. With two chances to win, players can go for a scoop where they win both the high and the low ends of the pot, holding the best 5-card hands.

Snap

Snap

Snap Poker is one of the fastest ways to play poker online. As soon as you quick-fold a hand, you are instantly seated at another table and dealt a new one.

Say goodbye to waiting for your opponents to act and say hello to fast-paced poker action โ€“ just the way you like to play.

BLAST

BLAST

BLAST Sit & Goโ€™s are 4-handed poker games, where you get to play for prize pools up to 10,000 x your buy-in! Once seated, the action starts off as usual in a regular Texas Holdโ€™em tournament. But once the BLAST timer strikes, all players are put all-in into just one lucky player stands victorious.

Most professional players love poker tournaments. Why? Because you can buy in for small amounts (or even for nothing) and win huge piles of cash and amazing prizes. And if you win big, you could even retire early!

Once you've paid your buy-in to a tourney, you get to play for as long as the chips last. No need to re-buy or top up. You get to see a lot more hands for your Loonies and can learn a lot from just sitting and watching other players go nuts!

In general, Tournaments are relatively low risk. You pay one amount and that's it. For your buy-in, you could get as much as 10K โ€“ 20K chips. Although the more common starting stack is around $2K โ€“ 3K.

Learn How to Play Other Poker Variations

Poker isnโ€™t all Texas Holdโ€™em and Omaha. There are many other variations that you can learn to play.

At 888poker, we have easy-to-follow articles and guides to help along the way!

Check out our step-by-step poker guides for these less popular, but equally enticing, poker games:


5 Card Draw

Five Card (5 Card) Draw is a draw variant of poker. Players will hold and discard cards, replacing them with cards in the deck.

HORSE

HORSE is an acronym that includes 5 different poker variants. They are: Holdโ€™em, Omaha Hi/Lo, Razz (Stud Lo), Stud (Stud Hi), and Eight-or-Better (Stud Hi/Lo).

Razz

Razz is a form of Stud Poker. In the ranking system for this game, straights and flushes do not count against a low hand.

2-7 Triple Draw

In 2-7 Triple Draw, players receive their own individual 5-card hand. And they have not one, but three draw attempts to make the best โ€œlowโ€ hand.

5-Card Omaha

In 5-Card Omaha, instead of being dealt four hole cards, each player receives five. They can only use two of the four to make the best hand.

Badugi

This poker variant falls under the โ€œdrawโ€ and โ€œLowballโ€ poker families. But Badugi uses a unique hand ranking system to determine the best hand.

Chinese Poker

In Chinese poker, players each receive13 initial cards. They must divide these cards into three different poker hands, attempting to make the best/highest-ranked holdings.

Short Deck

In Short Deck poker, all deuces, threes, fours, and fives are removed from the deck โ€“ leaving 36 cards. This difference can result in a more action-packed game.
