How the Game is played

All players (and the Dealer) get a number of cards. You win by 1.) having the best hand or 2.) by bluffing other players, so they think you have the best hand and surrender.

Types of Poker

There are two major types of poker: Draw and stud.
In Draw Poker, cards are dealt and can be exchanged for new ones. In Stud Poker, cards are dealt and changing of cards is not allowed.

In both types you can play high, low, or high-low.
In High, the highest hand wins. In Low, the lowest hand wins. In High-Low, the highest and the lowest hands win and split the winnings.

There are more than 120 different poker games. The most common are:
Five Card Stud, Seven Card Stud, Five Card Draw, Texas Hold'em, Omaha
