We all know about the more populated games to be found online today, with Texas Holdem and Omaha being the most popular of these. Some sites will offer only these better known games, but you can still find some of the lesser known games online, particularly at Pokerstars.

The other game most regularly offered besides Holdem and Omaha, is probably Seven Card Stud. This involves each player having Seven board cards which only they can use to make their hand. There is a betting round after the first three cards have been dealt, then after each following card. the first two, and final one card is dealt face down, with the rest of the cards being exposed.

Another fairly commonly found game is Five Card Draw. This involves each player being dealt their own five cards, with a betting round to follow. Then each player can swap or ‘draw’ as many cards as they choose, only once. After this is another betting round followed by a showdown. This was where I learned the basics of poker, and it remains one of my favoured games.

Other obscure games you might find online is Razz. This involves players being dealt cards in a similar pattern to Seven Card Stud, although the aim with Razz is to make the lowest possible hand of unpaired cards. The wheel, (A,2,3,4,5) being the best possible hand.

Sometimes you will find variations of games already mentioned, such as Omaha hi/lo, or Five Card Stud. All these games offer an interesting and enjoyable challenge to players, so if you have never tried them, I would recommend taking a look.
