There are many, many different kinds of poker, all with their own rules and variations. Some of the variants that stay the same are, for example, the value of the hands. In any poker game, a straight will beat a pair. Poker is also about the betting, which is something else that all poker games have in common. The betting goes in rounds, and you can raise the bet on your turn, call, which means match the current bet, or fold, which means that you lose everything that you have put into the pot so far and step out of the round. If all but one player folds, that player becomes the winner for the hand.
Poker may be played with all private cards, or with a combination of private cards, which you keep hidden from the other players, and community cards as in Texas Hold ‘Em, in which there is a group of cards that can be used by everyone at the table.
In a private poker game, the dealer rotates around the table and is marked, usually, by a white disk. In a casino poker game, the dealer remains the same (the hired dealer who represents the house) while the white disk is moved around the table to help determine betting order for the rounds. The bets go around the table, and the betting portion ends when all players have either folded or called without raising.
Online poker can be just as fun as casino poker. There are several variations, so that in addition to playing against friends or strangers from all over the world, you can also play with the computer. This single player version of poker online is also known as video poker, and is a game in which you play against the computer or a game in which you are playing a slot machine type of game online to try to get winning poker hand combinations. Payouts depend on the hands that you get.
However you play poker online, it can be a fun and exciting experience, allowing you the fun and pleasure of a poker game without the trouble of finding a gambling forum nearby. If there is no casino near your home, online poker is even more exciting, as it gives you an easy forum to enjoy gambling.
