Poker has been a long-time favourite game for many. Most people started out with the simple five card poker, where pennies were used instead of chips. Today the game has evolved to include many different variants that have their own style of play. Poker is not a game of chance as with other casino games, but rather a game of strategy. The more solid a player’s strategy is, the higher the chances for them getting some very good rewards. There are many variants to poker but we will just mention the most common ones:

• Texas Hold’em – Every player gets two cards that are dealt facing down. There are also some community cards that are dealt facing up. Every player places a bet before the community cards are placed, and the winner is the one with the best five cards on hand.
• Omaha- this is a variation of Texas Hold’em, but the players get four cards instead of two, and each player must end up playing two of the four.
• Seven card stud – Every player is dealt three cards, one facing up and the rest facing down. The game then begins with the player with the lowest value card making the first bet. The game proceeds with more deals with the aim of getting the best five cards at hand.

There are several strategies that should be employed, especially by beginners, to get a good grasp of any poker game. A player should avoid becoming too aggressive at the start of the game. The player should also know how to hold a poker face during the game, to avoid revealing their emotions. When it comes to money, the player should play low bets at hand, and never play with money they do not have.
