Poker Variants

While poker players who play in casinos, tournaments and online tend to specialise in a small number of games - mostly Texas Hold'em but also Omaha, 7-Card Stud and a few others - most home poker games are probably still played in the traditional format known as "dealer's choice". The dealer of each hand specifies the poker variant that will be played in that hand. The variant chosen can be anything that is fair and that the dealer can clearly explain to the players. Some of the better known variants can be found listed below, and yet more on other sites through the links provided.
