			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For those who prefer action, Omaha or Omaha Hi/Low is a great game. Omaha is played almost in the same manner as Texas Hold&#8217;em, the difference being that the player receives 4 hole cards instead of 2. Having 2 extra cards almost make sure that there is a best hand possible. One of the fascinating things about a lot of these different types of poker games is that they have Hi/Low versions. This spurs the betting on as the hitting hand bets wildly to eliminate the chasers.</p>
<p>While Texas Hold&#8217;em gets all the TV time, there is not game better for action than Omaha or Omaha Hi/Low. Omaha is played almost in the same manner as Texas Hold&#8217;em, the difference being that the player receives 4 hole cards instead of 2. The extra 2 cards ensure the availability of a best hand. The Hi/Low versions make these various poker games even more fun. The stakes get higher when the person who has hit bets like mad to wipe out the chasers.</p>
<p>The different games have to be played keeping different strategies in mind if you want to scoop the pot. Scooping the pot does not mean covering only one side, it means winning both the Hi and Low hands. Due to all the variables and the 4 hole cards there is always a huge amount of money in the pot.<br /> Also remember that it never does any harm to use a high quality set of <a target="_blank" href="http://www.coolpokerguide.com/poker-tools/">online poker tools</a> or take in some profitable <a target="_blank" href="http://www.coolpokerguide.com/poker-lessons/poker_lessons.php">poker lessons</a>!</p>
<p> While there are many different types of poker games to choose from, an old favorite is 7 card stud. This is also a game that has a Hi/Low version as well. 2 cards are first distributed face down and then one with its face up. A round of betting occurs and then each player receives another up card. This process goes on until each player has 2 down cards and 4 up cards. At this point, everyone will receive their last card down and the final betting round takes place.</p>
<p> The difference between the other varied types of Poker games like Omaha and Holdem Poker Stud is that Holdem Poker Stud is not a chaser&#8217;s game. You must surrender if you cannot manage to build up a good hand by the time you are dealt the second up card. You will be lost otherwise. As it is necessary to keep in mind all the cards that have been dealt so far, this game requires brainpower too. You cannot waste time looking for a card which has already been folded on board. Be alert and keep a record of the cards on the board in your mind.</p>
<p> Razz is one of the different types of poker games that is a variation on 7 and is the dream game of people with bad luck. You stand to gain if you have a very bad hand. Unlike other games where having A-2-3-4-6-7-8 will have you banging your head, in Razz it is a dream hand. It is played in the same manner as 7 stud, you only need the lowest ranked hand to emerge a winner. Even here only 5 cards play like in stud.</p>
<p> Triple Draw is another type of poker games that is getting a lot of attention these days. It is filled with action and amusement. If you play it properly, it can earn you lots of money. People play this game at lower stakes for pure pleasure. This game is like another version of Razz using a 5 card draw model. There is a round of betting after you get 5 cards. By discarding as many cards as you like, you should try to get the worst possible hand. 2-3-4-5-7 is great for standard Triple Draw. After the first draw has been completed, there is another round of betting and then another discard round. The third and last draw is followed by one more betting round and then the showdown takes place. Remember, no pairs, no flushes and no straights. For scooping the pot only the most useless cards are necessary.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Though Texas Hold&#8217;em gets more attention, Omaha or Omaha Hi/Low is much better when it comes to action. Omaha is played almost in the same manner as Texas Hold&#8217;em, the difference being that the player receives 4 hole cards instead of 2. With the 2 additional cards, the possibility of getting a best hand increases. One of the fascinating things about a lot of these different types of poker games is that they have Hi/Low versions. As the player who has hit tries to push the chasers out, the betting gets wild.<br /> The strategy for these different types of poker games is significantly different though as you want to get involved in hands where you can scoop the pot. Scooping the pot does not mean covering only one side, it means winning both the Hi and Low hands. Due to all the variables and the 4 hole cards there is always a huge amount of money in the pot.</p>
<p> Though there is a vast array of poker games to decide from, 7 card stud is an all time favorite. It too has both the Hi and Low versions. You get 2 cards dealt face down and then one card dealt face up. A round of betting occurs and then each player receives another up card. This continues till all the contenders in the game have 2 cards facing down and 4 cards facing up. The final betting round takes place at this juncture.</p>
<p> The difference between the other varied types of Poker games like Omaha and Holdem Poker Stud is that Holdem Poker Stud is not a chaser&#8217;s game. If you cannot better your hand till you reach the stage of getting the second up card, it is advisable to get out. You will be lost otherwise. This game also requires memory and concentration as you need to remember all the cards that have been dealt. You cannot waste time looking for a card which has already been folded on board. Pay attention and keep track of the cards on the board.</p>
<p> Razz is a poker game with a difference, just meant for people with bad luck. Instead of trying to win, you have to try to lose. Unlike other games where having A-2-3-4-6-7-8 will have you banging your head, in Razz it is a dream hand. You require the lowest ranked hand to be a winner; otherwise the rest is the same as 7 stud. Only 5 cards play just like normal stud.</p>
<p> Triple Draw is one more poker game which is becoming popular. It is filled with action and amusement. If you play a disciplined game, you can earn money. People play this game at lower stakes for pure pleasure. This game is more or less a version of Razz that uses 5 card draw as its model. You receive 5 cards and a round of betting follows. You can get rid of the cards you do not need but the end result should be a worst possible hand. Getting 2-3-4-5-7 is like a dream come true in standard Triple Draw. When the first draw is over, one more betting and discard round takes place. After the third and final draw, there will be one more round of betting and then the showdown. Remember, no pairs, no flushes and no straights. You want pure garbage and you scoop the pot.</p>
