Page 1 of 6 Poker GamesIntroduction to Poker GamesThe term poker game can refer to a great deal of different things. There are several poker variants such as Texas Holdem, 5 Card Draw, 7 Card Stud, 7 Card Stud Hi/Low, Omaha, and Omaha Hi/low, which are commonly referred to as poker games. Each and every one of these poker variants can be played with different betting structures such as Fixed Limit, No Limit or Pot Limit. Every unique combination of poker game and betting structure becomes a poker game of its own. Furthermore, you play either cash games or tournaments, which are two completely different game formats.
In this article we will explore all these concepts and thereby provide you with a map over the poker games. A map that hopefully will help you find your way to the type of poker game that suits you best. As a bonus you will also get a very exclusive and fact loaded lesson in the history of card games. A history that begins in China with the issuing of money and continues to this day in countries all over the globe, driven by the very thing that spawned it in the first place: money.
