Start with 2 cards

* 7-card stud – Same as 5-card stud but with 7 cards instead of 5. You make the best 5-card hand possible out of the cards that you have.

* Hold-em (or Texas Hold-em) – You’re initially dealt two cards (pocket cards) face down, followed by a round of betting. Then the dealer lays out the “flop” which consists of three cards that anyone can use in their hand. There’s another round of betting, followed by another card added to the flop, then another round of betting, and then the final card is added to the flop.

* Lowball – The goal is to get the hand with the ”lowest” value.

* Omaha – Four pocket cards are dealt face down, betting ensues, and then five community cards are dealt face up. A player must make a winning hand using two of the pocket cards combined with the three community cards.
