Draw Poker
The most common form is 5-card draw, which you probably played with your grandfather when you were growing up. In these games, players are dealt an entire hand face down (i.e. hidden to all others). They can then improve their hands in subsequent rounds by replacing a number of their cards with new ones from the deck. The number of cards replaced is up to each player's own discretion but are subject to restrictions based on the rules of the casino and the particular game being played.
Stud Poker
The most popular forms are with five and seven cards, and the games are available on almost every online poker site in the industry. In these games, players are dealt a combination of face-up and face-down cards. During the multiple betting rounds, players may try to replace their cards to achieve the best hand possible. Once again, the rules are subject to the casino and the type of game played; however, in general, they all follow this simple formula.
Community Card Poker
This variant is the favorite form of online poker sites and the World Series of Poker. The most classic and popular games are Texas Hold 'em and Omaha Hold 'em. In these games, players are dealt any amount of cards face down and try to combine these cards with the "community cards" to develop the best poker hand. Bets are usually placed after the face-down cards are initially dealt and after each card or set of cards is added to "community" pool.
