Draw Poker
Draw Poker is what most mature poker players grew up with. It's the game parents played in their dining room when family came to dinner, after the kids had gone to bed.

Because there is no exchange of cards, no community cards and only one betting round, Draw Poker requires only that players understand hand valuation and the importance of a good bluff.

Ace to Five Triple Draw
Ace to Five Triple Draw is a "worst" or low hand game that combines luck with a few twists to hand valuation. Namely, Aces are always low and straights and flushes do not count. Five cards are dealt to each player and everyone may change three of them. Being uncertain of the rules, and/or mistaking them for that of Deuce to Seven Triple Draw, is the most common mistake in this game. Be sure which you're playing before you raise.

Double Flop Holdem
Double the choices, double the winning! Two flops--yes, two--are dealt in this variation on Texas Holdem. But don't think that because there are so many cards on the board the game is any easier. Double Flop Holdem deals to upper and lower boards and, though you can change your mind as to which hand to play until the last card is dealt, you must choose community cards from only one set. Often there are two winners, but occasionally a single player plays an upper and lower board hand to win the entire pot.

Seven Card Stud 8 or Better
Another hi/lo game, Seven Card Stud 8 or Better combines the rules of Seven Card Stud with the high and low hand strategies of other split pot games. Try to scoop the pot--win both high high and low hands--by putting together the best top and bottom hands of the seven pocket and community cards dealt. Though less prolific than some other hi/lo games, this stud version of the game is fun and challenging.
