How many different styles of Poker?

[liladypokerpro]

With all the various styles of poker out there, I'm curious to see who knows more than just Hold 'em. Once you vote, let us know what you play and what game you prefer out of the various styles and why. This should be good.



PS >>> Forget about the limits, just the vote for the game(s) you know. You can add what limits you like in your forum post.

HORSE is fun hold-em is boring, but easy to beat.

does anyone know the odds of being rolled up in 7 card stud by any chance?

424-1 against


As for styles of poker:
5 card stud (normal, canadian, and versions with a wild)
5 card draw (with the bug, without, and with dealer declared wilds)
5 card draw lowball... 2-7 and A-5... I grew up playing lowball as a single draw... so triple draw is new to me.
7 card stud (normal and a ton of dealer's choice wild games)
Razz
Hold'em
Omaha (Hi and HL) -- this is, by far, my weakest game

I am probably missing something here. Also, it has been a couple years since I've played 5 stud, even with family and they were the only ones I knew to play originally.

Thanks for voting and posting everyone!

I just realized I didn't add my two cents worth, so here goes:

Styles I know:

3-Card
5 card stud/draw
7 card stud/draw
Texas Hold 'em (any)
Omaha (any)
Razz (any)
Pineapple
HORSE (and the other variations of combined games)
Paigow
Carribean

That's all I can think of off the top of my head but I'm sure there's probably 1 or 2 others I am forgetting about...
