You probably know that it exists a number of versions in Poker and you know that this game is more and more popular. So you know also that most of people want to play it differently because they are tired of playing Hold’em poker. I am probably sure that you know the rules of the Hold’em poker, the 5 draw and also the Omaha. So this is why I will try to teach you 3 different versions of poker. The USA is full of new versions so don’t worry; you won’t be disappointed and never tired of poker.
We can start with the HORSE poker.
The HORSE poker is a different version of poker and it is quite famous in USA. It is more and more popular. When you play a game after a while, you get bored so this is why it can be important and exciting to play the HORSE. Horse is an anagram, it means:
H : Limit Hold’em
O : Limit Omaha Eight or Better (Hi/Lo)
R : Razz Poker
S : Limit Seven Card Stud
E : Limit Stud Eight or Better (Hi/Lo)
So, the horse is a game with which you have to know all of the rules of the others games. Actually when you play the horses, at any time you can change the game as you can play the Hold’em and 5 minutes later you can play the Razz Poker. It means that you have to know all of the rules of all of these poker games. You can win a lot of money on a game that you manage well but you can also lose a lot when you play a game that you don’t know properly the rules. Also the opponents can play differently at any game. Be careful and appreciate strategies.
The Cincinatti Poker
The cincinatti Poker is a variant of poker. The version is quite new in USA but at the moment, you can’t play it on Internet. So at the beginning of the game you receive 5 cards. The possibility to get a good game such as a full house, a flush or a straight it is quite recurrent. So you receive 5 hole cards. You raise or call before discovering the cards of the river as usual and after that the dealer is putting 5 hole cards on the river. The difference with the Hold’em it is that you discover the river card by card and no 3 cards in once. This is the only difference. Poker players get more excitement by this poker version.
The double Flop Hold’em
The double flop is a new version of poker as well. As the title of this version said, you get 2 rivers, 2 flops. At the beginning of the game the dealer decides how to determinate the winner. It can be by 2, between 2 players, the best combination on each river or the best combination with both of the river.
This game is quite crazy but after that the rules are similar to the Hold’em.
