Poker Options
The best poker variants to play online vary based on player preference, skill level, and the desire for variety or complexity.
Here are some popular variants that are available on Clubs Poker:
- Texas Hold’em: The most popular variant worldwide. Players are dealt two hole cards and combine them with five community cards to make the best hand.
- Omaha: Similar to Texas Hold’em, but players get four-hole cards and must use exactly two of them along with three community cards. This variant is gaining popularity for its complexity and variety.
- Seven Card Stud: Each player is dealt seven cards, with the best five-card hand winning. This game doesn’t involve community cards, adding a different strategic element.
- Razz: A lowball stud game where the worst five-card hand wins, offering a complete reversal of traditional hand rankings.
- Five Card Draw: One of the simplest and most traditional forms, where players can replace cards from their hand, making it a great starting point for beginners.
- 2-7 Triple Draw: A lowball draw game where the goal is to have the worst hand. It’s a draw game, allowing players to exchange cards during the hand, and it’s called “2-7” or Deuce to Seven because 2,3,4,5,7 is the worst possible hand.
- Badugi: Unique for its lowball hand ranking and the way Aces are valued. Players aim to have the lowest hand possible.
- HORSE: A mix of five different poker games: Hold’em, Omaha Hi/Lo, Razz, Seven Card Stud, and Seven Card Stud Hi/Lo. This game is for players who enjoy variety and complexity.
- Short Deck Hold ’em: Played with a 36-card deck (removing 2s through 5s), leading to more frequent strong hands. Popular in high play amount games and tournaments.
Each of these games offers a different aspect of poker, catering to various preferences and skill levels, making them great choices for online play.
