Poker Dictionary ( poker )

Card Game. Poker is commonly played in card rooms (often within casinos) and in private home games (illegally in many states). The games played in card rooms seem to divide into stud games, draw games, and flop games. In home games, however, anything goes, including games that seem to have no reason to be called poker. The varieties played in home games probably number in the hundreds, or even the thousands. Some common card room games include Texas Hold'em, Seven Card Stud, Omaha, Razz, Lowball and Pineapple.
