Top 10 Poker Variations

[XYZ2123]

NLHE is my favorite. It took me long enough to learn to play it at a decent level and it is still challenging enough that I don't feel compelled to take up any other variants. I can handle some PLO but the idea of playing with more than two hole cards or having to think about hi/lo etc just hurts my head.

 

[Rijckenborg]

Oh ouch, it was the first time I read about 'God mode' and 'super user' scamming.

Texas Hold'em no limit is the variation of poker I play the most.
I like also to play Ohama and Omaha Hi-Lo even if I'm not very good at it .

A good way to learn other variations of poker is to play HORSE.
First time I played other variations Texas Hold'em was in Cardschat freeroll

 

[Honeybuns666]

Here's a list of my favorites.
1. Holdem No limit or limit
2.PLO H/L
3.Horse
4.7 card stud H/L
5. Horse

Also I've never played Badugi anyone know where a U.S player could play it online? Thanks guys and Gals

I like NLHE of the other variants only played one of them – omaha the rest have no interest.

 

[Danb_1985]

I like PLO and PLO8 but I mostly love razz. Only played it once live and a couple of times online but wish it was more readily available

 

[zam220]

I love Omaha hi / lo: when you get both pots it's good, the two pots add the odds of winning both high and low combinations. I like Texas with knockouts too, but less.

I've played Omaha, but my favorite is Texas Holdem, the rest I do not play. Omaha requires you to play a lot of cards and play strong when you hit a good hand. In texas holdem there is a need to wait for good cards and to play with the cards you are playing, knowing how to apply good bluffs can give you a good money too. A game that prevails who has more skill.

1. 2 7 Triple draw,from the begun I play just these game and be easy. I just wait good hand and bam,but today is much harder,becauseplayer today are maniacs and just push,no matter of position and what they hold and variance do all others.Thats why I switch on Badugi.
2. Badugi .Must admit I am adicted on these game.Lately I just play 0,50/ 1 cash games.Like all draw games very important thing is position,but like in TD 27 game we also have alot maniacs whos not care about anything ,just push,but still I think I am solid in these game and make nice profit.

3. Omaha Hi.Love to say for that game is nuts game.Even with lower full house I think twice what to do,but not with game n.4
4. Omaha hi lo. If Omaha hi is nuts game,for hi lo variance we can tell we always have background doors and much more action
5. Razz Very intersting and fun game.
6.Stud One big old classic,Not much fun and not game for players whos want quick profit.

After NL Holden I like omaha.. would learn other variation in the future.

 

[miamia]

Hi, Cardschat fellows, I like best from Top to last

1. 2-7 Triple Draw: with patient you may get the best hand often. Not much "variance"

2. Razz: is also Ok but can’t find it very often.

3. Badugi: The nice look of the different colors and the opportunity to Bluff are nice.


4. Omaha Hi-Low: When you get both pots is nice. :five:

Don't do it that with regular players.You cant bluff on a limit, especially if youre out position and discard on the last draw,maybe with some amateur.

 

[pescaofish]

well, of course, but I will also use it against you, so be ready to take advantage of the Hint! :heeeellll:heeeellll

 

[KevinLee]

The other variations that I like are horse, razz, and omaha. I never heard of Irish poker but it looks like a good game.

 

[VovanBaron]

Frankly I play only NL Holdem and know how to play Omaha .But I play only one variation and thats why I feel meself not so comfortable talking about poker variations)))But in general I have some ambitions to learn and play more variations but now I stopped only on Holdem!!!

 

[es530]

I do not know exactly what to do. The game I like to play is texas holdem and I can play omaham too - although I do not like omaham as I like texas holdem. I know the "rules" of the game in both games. Is this about rules? the rest of the games might be cool to other people - but I have no interest whatsoever.

 

[jfofla]

1º- holdem
2º - badugi
3ª - 2-7 triple draw
4º - no limite 5 card draw
5º -no limite omaha

 

[moots]

When I first started playing poker, I accidentally registered for a Omaha Hi Lo sit-and-go. I had to learn on the go and I actually won it. I guess it was all luck since I haven't been successful at it, but I still enjoy it.

I also like Razz, but prefer to play it in HORSE games. Although Stud brings me down.

 

[rusty carver]

I love Omaha hi, or PLO. NL Omaha is fun when you can find a game. I’d like to spend more time playing and learning low draw games

 

[shanest]

I love Omaha....... I also hate Omaha. Omaha players know this feeling. Just sick action and variances

 

[wilmer907907]

when I started my learning in poker, I played with fictional money in pokertars, of which I learned to play not only holdem but other variants, among my favorites is, omaha h / l, I adore this variant, I also love Badugi, horse, razz all these are my favorites

 

[Hunterlewis31]

I love 7 card stud. it is a game of great strategy. you almost have to count cards and pay much more attention to everyone elses hands as well.

 

[MrHachiman]

This article seemed excellent to me. He even did not know any of the variations of poker. Without a doubt I would like to learn at some time Omaha, but even if I do not dominate the NLHE would not incursionaria in another variation until I feel really happy with my game.

 

[Muzyka1996]

thanks for article!
I play only Texas Hold'em, but I still know the rules of the Omaha. Once times played a little in Omaha, nut now only a hold'em

 

[SPANKYSN]

I have played some of these games online in freerolls, but never live or in online cash games. Stud was the first game I learned to play way back in the early 70s. I believe it takes the most focus and concentration because you have to remember all the other players face up cards (after they folded). Badugi was a lot of fun, but I would not play it for big money.

 

[RidersFan]

I play Holdem and PLO the most and occasionally will play NLO8 PKOs. I do like playing 2-7 triple draw and badugi but there usually aren’t very good games running so I will play them during online tournament series.

 

[Katyushka4]

After Hold'em, I like the Seven Card Stud. When the players are dealt cards, I try to remember all opponent's open cards before they will be fold. And to repeat them in my mind. It never helps.
I also like Badugi, it's very funny. I always immerse myself in this game completely with my head, what I can not say about others variations.
