Online Poker
Looking through the Internet there seems to be loads of online poker pages to choose. Whilst looking I came across a variety of free online poker sites that looked a great bit of poker fun. The list that follows here I think is a good selection of poker games some free and some that want you to join online. Whichever route you take be like me and don’t allow it to be addictive but allow it to be enjoyable.
It’s easy to play online and easy to win but best of all it's free and free poker has got to be good. Place against the dealer for your chance to win up to x100 your poker bet, place a separate poker jackpot bet and you could win up to x10, 000!
Multi-Hand online three-card poker
Three-card poker got three times better! Play up to three hands online at once on the world’s hottest new casino game. Initially its free and then use real money if you want.
Hold'em poker has become the undisputed king of all poker games and is the one played most on television, online on the Internet and in tournaments. In the World Series of Poker (WSOP), the winner of the main hold'em poker event ($10,000 buy-in) is crowned world poker champion. In hold'em, each player is dealt two concealed or 'hole' cards. Five community cards are dealt on the table. The first three are known as 'the flop', the fourth is 'the turn’; the fifth is 'the river'. All players make their best five-card hand from a combination of their hidden cards and the shared cards. They can use one, two or none of their hidden cards.
Similar to online hold'em poker, but with two differences. Firstly, each player is dealt four concealed cards, not two. Secondly, a player must use two from his hand and three from the community cards (unlike hold'em poker where the number of hidden cards you can use is unrestricted). Otherwise, there are five community cards in the same flop, turn, river format. This game involves more action, as you have more cards to choose from, but remains popular like hold'em poker.
This is an Omaha variant where you play both a normal ('high') hand and a 'low' hand. A low hand is the worst five-card hand you can muster from the nine on offer. If, for example, you had Ah, 2h, 3h, 3d in your hand and the community cards were 3c, 10h, 10d, 4c, 6d, your high hand would be a full house of 3h, 3d, 3c, 10h, 10d and your low hand would be Ah, 2h, 3c, 4c, 6d. Both, of course, are very strong poker hands. If you win the high and someone else wins the low hand, the pot is split. The only other unique rule is that a low hand does not qualify if the lowest card is higher than 8, so you must have three cards of 8 or lower on the community cards (without pairs) to have any low hand at all. If there is no low hand, then all the money goes to the high hand.
