Omaha was a more popular game in the eighties and nineties
before the expansion of Texas Holdem. Today Omaha is

Card Stud is popular in Europe and on the east coast
in USA.
The object of Seven Card Stud is to form the strongest
possible hand using the seven cards you are dealt. There
are no community cards in this game but four of the
cards you get are open for everyone to see. Seven Card
Stud differs from Texas Holdem in some other ways. There
are five betting rounds instead of four and there are
no fixed positions at the table. The betting order in
Seven Card Stud is determined by the value of the players
face up cards.

community cards to form your hand. There are four betting
rounds in which the players make there moves.
