to know all types of poker, not just no limit holdem, you must read and learn how to play! other ways of poker are much different then no limit holdem and its not for every poker player! so or you will read text on internet or you will read some book, but you must see how it works before you invest own money on this type of poker! good luck to all!

There are many variants in the game of poker, but for me I think the one that I always play and feel comfortable playing is Texas Hold'Em, which is the most popular variant, most played among poker players and more.

poker is easy if the software is more relaxing, but when he is vindictive it is no longer good and you start asking yourself serious questions. I like poker to be reliable and then good things will happen.

Omaha and Omaha HiLo are more dynamic. I play them in cash. I play tournaments more in Hold'em. Cash and tournaments have different styles and strategies.

My favorite variant of online poker is Texas Holdem, I always play tournaments and cash, but lately I am always playing some Omaha tournaments, it is a variant that many players also like, I personally am liking it too.

2-7 triple draw is nice game , and 7 card stud . Old games that now are not played for much , as people started to like and play NLH , maybe because it seems easier . Online nowadays it's hard to find other poker variants than NLH with big prizepool and players' pool . NLH is dominant in poker world .

Now I have played a tournament in Omaha on ggpoker, I really like it every time I play this variant of poker, but there is also a lot of variance in this game, but you will always have action, it is a modality that many players like.

Of course it's important that you understand that not every game is the same and that not every game play the same style. Like in omaga you can have top set, but in all in on flop you are still ahead and only top players can read those situations and fold sets. Especialy when you have bottom set which in holdem is nuts, in omaha vs. nit who 3 bet preflop he usualy had bigger set if there is A or K on the flop. And this is just some .rule. It's allot allot more then that

The only poker variants that I know how to play are Texas Holdem No Limit and Omaha, I don't like the other variants and it seems to me that that makes these two variants more interesting.

Razz is a nice different poker variation that you can try yo play . Very easy to learn , it's fun to play such a game . Hard to find a razz game at the micro nano stakes , only on big series tourneys they might offer one or two games of this variation , to satisfy some players . I have played razz many times In freerolls in the past , especially on Stars .

The Omaha Hi-Lo variant is a game that I don't understand, it has many rules that sometimes I get confused with normal Omaha, that's why I don't try to play, I always remember when I rush into an Omaha Hi tournament. -Thinking that Omaha is normal.

PokerStars used to have some freerolls in the past , which were giving you the chance to play for tickets and participate in a final freeroll for real money . In these qualifying freerolls you could play all poker games , not just NLH . It was a good opportunity to try all poker games , learn the rules , have fun and win money at the same time .but they took them back .
