Here I have broken down each of the top 5 poker Variations for your convenience.

No Limit Hold'em
This is by far the most commonly played poker game being played today. It has gained so much popularity that it has spawned several television games. The game starts with the posting of the blinds, after this each player receives the only 2 cards that are exclusive to them in this game. The dealer will then deal 5 cards to the center of the table and will turn the first 3 cards over. This is the first time you can really get a feel for your hand. At this point it goes back and forth between a betting round and the flipping over of a card. Once all the cards have been turned over and all the bets are in the cards are revealed and the player with the best hand wins.

Red Dog Poker:
Red Dog Poker is not technically a poker game, but it is played in the casinos poker rooms. The game is very fast paced and easy to learn which is why it is so popular. The dealer deals the player 2 cards and the player has to bet if the next card will fall between the first 2 cards. Let us say the first 2 cards are a 5 and a 9 then you are betting that the next card will be a 6, 7 or an 8. The closer the first 2 cards are the higher the payout if you are correct.

About Caribbean Stud:
Caribbean stud is not the average stud poker game. In this game each player gets 5 cards they may not look at or touch their cards till the dealer finishes dealing and turns over his top card. At this point a player can decide to stay in the game or fold. If you stay in the game your bet is doubled from the Ante. Once everyone either stays or folds all the cards are shown and everyone with a better hand then the dealer wins like in Blackjack.

Tri Card Poker:
In the world of poker this is the equivalent of speed chess. You make your bets before the cards are even dealt. The dealer then deals each player and himself 3 cards. The players with hands that beat the dealers hand win. this is a fun game for people that ant to play some poker but are not very good. In this game there is not really much to do but sit and place a bet and the dealer does the rest.

Poker:
This version of poker is the basic and oldest poker version. It is called Five Card Draw Poker. This version can be played with and ante or a blind. It is most commonly played with an ante. The dealer will then go around dealing 1 card to each player till everyone has 5 cards in their hands. At this point you have a betting round or you can fold, but most people will stay in till the next round unless you have absolutely nothing. in the draw round you may get rid of some of your 5 cards and receive new ones. This is where many of the players will fold. After this the remaining players can make a final bet then it is time to put your cards on the table and declare a winner. In this version it is winner take all.

You now have the basics for all of the most popular poker games, but before hitting the casinos or online poker rooms you may want to play a few hands for free.
