There are many variations of the card game poker, but the ones that you will come across most frequently when playing online or at tournaments are Texas Hold'em, Omaha and 7 Card Stud.

All forms of poker use a 52 card pack of cards and follow the same basic rules.

Players bet on the value of the cards in their possession by placing money, usually in the form of chips, into a central pot during rounds of betting.

Once the betting rounds are over, the winner is the player with the strongest hand or the last player in the game if the other players have folded and chosen not to bet against the last player left.

A poker hand consists of five cards and the strongest hand possible is a royal flush (ace, king, queen, jack and ten of the same suit). The rank of hands remains the same no matter which type of poker game you play.
