Types of Poker games played around the globe

We have gathered a collection of guides and rules for several popular poker games, played in most real life and online casinos. The list is divided into three main groups: Stud Poker, Draw Poker and Shared-card Poker.

The reason we divided the types of poker into three groups is a result of the basic differences between the games. For instance, a Draw game is the normal poker game you used to play at home, where as in Stud game you are initially dealt less than 5 cards, and later on the game you receive the rest. In shared-cards games, also known as community cards games, you are also dealt less than 5 cards, and you complete your hand using a few communal cards that are put in the middle of the poker table.

We recommend you get acquianted with a few games of each category, so you can feel the differences between them before choosing a style to play.
