By Simon M Skinner

Want to know what the big attractions for online poker enthusiasts are? Well, of course the chance to win big money is number one, but players love to play poker for the challenge and variety of games that are always provided. For sheer excitement and intensity there is nothing like poker at any casino, whether online or at Las Vegas.

Whether it may seem like it or not, there are over a hundred various types of poker games out there to play. But while there are over a hundred, only a handful stands out as the most popular. But before you get started you want to make sure that you are learning the rules for each so that you may have the best chance possible at winning.

Let?s break down the top 5 poker variations and look at them individually for a moment:

Omaha Hold?em

7 card stud poker

Omaha Hold 'em

Lowball

Each of these poker variations will have their own set of rules that are different from one another. But even with that, within each variation of poker there are additional variations on the limits. There is the pot limit, the no limit, the hi-lo, and other kinds of limit variations. Some give the players a better advantage over others and some people find that they simply adapt better to one version over another. You will find what suits you the best by researching the rules and giving them all a try.

Whether you are in a regular casino or playing online, due to the popularity of these poker games you are bound to find them everywhere. Just about every single online poker room will have large tournaments for 7 Card Stud, Texas Hold'em, and Omaha Hold'em. You can find the same games online that you play with your friends and neighbors or at the local casinos.

Even though there are basic rules for all poker games, there are going to be many specialty rules that cater to the specific variation of poker that you are playing. If you are not familiar with the rules of the game you will find it very difficult to make a lot of money. The best thing to do is to research the rules and all of the strategy hints that you can find. You will then want to take your knowledge to the free tables and play there until you are extremely confident in your poker skills before moving on to the real money games.
