1. Poker
Types and origins

2. Texas Hold’Em
• Texas Hold’Em is the most popular form
of American poker.
• Players are dealt 2 pocket cards and wait
for five community cards to be dealt.
• There are four rounds of betting.
• Players win by making the highest hand
out of a combination of their hole and
the community cards.

3. Different Poker Hands

4. Omaha
• Omaha is another type of Texas
Hold’Em.
• The community cards are immediately
revealed.
• There are 4 hole cards.
• To win, players must make the best
hand out of two of their hole cards
and three of the community cards.

5. 5-Card Draw/7-Card Stud
• Initially, Players are dealt five cards
• The player can choose to trade up
to three of them for other cards
• As with all other poker games, the
one ending with the highest hand
wins.
• Players are dealt three face up cards
and four face down cards.
• Players must try to make the best 5-
card hand from their 7 cards in
order to win.

6. Follow the Queen
• Follow the Queen is a version of 7-Card
Stud where face up queens are wildcards
• When a queen is dealt face up, the next
card to be flipped and those of the same
rank are also wild cards
• If no queens are flipped, then there are
no wildcards that round.

7. High/Low Chicago
• The Player with the highest hand only
wins half the pot.
• In high Chicago, the other half of the pot
is won by the player with the highest face-
down spade.
• In low Chicago, the other half of the pot
is won by the player with the lowest face-
down spade.
• They both can be played simultaneously
with other forms of poker.

8. The Bitch
• This is another 7-Card Stud variant
• In this version of poker, the queen of spades is “the bitch”
• If the queen of spades is dealt face up, all of the cards are taken, shuffled
and the players who had not folded when the queen was dealt are dealt new
cards.
• The pot is split between the player with the highest hand and the player who
has the queen of spades in the whole (if any).

9. Countdown
• Players start with five face down cards.
• Each round, players can choose to replace
up to 3 cards in the first round, 2 in the
second round and 1 card in the third.
• Players pay whenever they want to replace
a card and that money goes into the pot.
• In each round, the price to replace a card
doubles.
