Anaconda is one of the hot favorite poker games. The game involves more than seven players and the initial deal starts from seven down cards to each player. Every player chooses three cards to thrust aside and then the face down passing cycle starts to the player on the left. Then the three new cards are picked by the player to the right. After that, each player discards two cards at the same time to the left and then one is discarded in the same way and the game goes on with stacking and exposing rounds. There are further variations in this game including Screwy Louie, Love Thy neighbor, 3-2-1, Rattlessnake, Junkyyard Dog, Mexican anaconda and Republican anaconda.

Omaha is another interesting game that is very famous among the poker fans. It is quite different from Texas Holdem. You would find this game on all the poker domains. Apparently both games look very similar but when you start playing the game you will find their rules quite different from each other. The multitude of drawing probabilities makes both of the games entirely dissimilar. Keep in mind that Omaha is played in a hi/low or in a high layout. In Omaha players get four cards to make a hand instead of 2. Sometimes you only left with multiple draws to make a hand in Omaha. Here are some other games including Limbo, Bid poker, Guts, 7-card stud, Draw, razz, Triple draw, Crazy Pineapple and the list goes on.

The very first thing you should know about the game is its betting structure. It usually involves forced bets ranging from small to big blind bets. The person who gets the maximum amount of cards gets the opportunity to be in charge of the dealer button. The distributed cards are collected by the dealer and then he mixes up the 52 playing cards. The player sitting on the left side of the dealer posts the small blind while the big blind is posted by the person nest to him.

Here you should have knowledge about the head to head rule. This rule is enforced when only two players are left in the game. The rule for posting blinds also gets changed here. The small blind is posted by the player with the dealer button and the big blind is posted by his opponent. When it comes to the hole cards, bear in mind the rule that you cannot look at each other’s cards. This is what you call the face-down round of betting. The betting begins in clockwise manner after all the players get their hole cards. The last round of the game is called ‘show-down’. This is the stage when the players show their best move in the game by playing the best poker hand.
