Online, you can find tons of different types of games. There’s Omaha, in which you get 4 cards to yourself..then five cards are put out on the table..first 3, then one..then the last. You make your hand by using any two of your cards and any three of the cards on the table. There’s also Stud, in which you get 7 cards all together and make the best 5 card hand out of them. BUT the most common game, and the game you’ll run into more than any other game is Texas Hold’em…especially in Casinos. The rules are fairly simple. You’re first dealt two cards (or hole cards)…there’s a round of betting before three cards are laid on the table. Another round of betting and another card is laid down…once again, another round of betting, then the last card is laid down, making 7 cards all togther…your two and the 5 on the table. Finally, there’s one last betting round before everyone flips their cards..the best 5 card hand out of the 7 cards available to the player wins.

DoylesRoom has a really cool section with tips and tutorials…I was checking it out the other day and thought this might give you some insight to the game of poker and it’s rules…In any case, the site is

Good luck!
