Below are a few of the most popular versions of poker that you may encounter at your weekly dealer’s-choice poker game. These are also the top poker games in the world for 2020, with the number of their players being projected to increase drastically in the coming years.
1: Texas Hold Em
Played in the World Series of Poker, Texas Hold ‘Em is easily the most popular poker game in America today. In Texas Hold ‘Em, players are dealt two “pocket” or “hole cards” then wait for 5 community cards to be revealed. Betting takes place in four rounds: once after the hole cards are dealt, once after the first three community cards are revealed (referred to as “the flop”), once after the fourth community card is revealed (“the turn”) and lastly after the fifth community card is flipped (“the river”). Players must make their best hands with any combination of 5 cards (their hole cards and the communal). This poker game has become a fan favorite among online casino Malaysia players, and it has made more casino platforms to introduce the game.
2: Omaha
Omaha is another type of Hold ‘Em that can be played by 2-10 players at a time. Like Texas Hold ‘Em, there are four rounds of betting, but unlike that version, each player is dealt four-hole cards and the five community cards are immediately revealed. Players must make their best 5-card hands from two of their hole cards and three of the common. This game is also very loved by live casino players as it offers opportunities for people to play together and bond. It has thus led to its rise in the online casino Malaysia community.
3: High/Low Chicago
This stud game can be played for the highest hand or the lowest. In High Chicago, the player with the highest spade face-down wins half the pot. In Low Chicago, the player with the lowest spade face-down wins half the pot. The other half of the pot is won by the player with the best hand. If someone, however, has the best hand and the winning spade (high or low, depending on version), that player will win the entire pot. This game can be added to and played simultaneously with, many other poker variations.
