Okay today we will continue for the final part of playing Poker

Below are the variations.

- Straight Poker
        Five cards are dealtd to each player with a round of betting after each. The best hand wins the pot.

- 5-card stud
        This is similar to straight poker, where you are stuck with the cards that you are dealt except, in this variation, four of the cards are dealt face up for all to see. The person with the best hand wins the pot. The dealing goes as follows: One card is dealt face down to each person, then one card is dealt face up to each player and there is a round of betting; there are three subsequent rounds where another card is dealt face up to all who have not folded and this is followed by a round of bets. Once the final bet is made, the hole card is revealed and the person holding the best hand takes the pot.

- 7-card stud
        Your goal is to make the best 5-card hand possible. In 7-card stud, players are given two face-down cards, then one up before the first round of betting. Another three rounds of one card face up goes to each remaining player with a round of betting after each dealing. The final card goes face-down followed by the final round of betting. In stud, the cards dealt face down are called "hole cards."

- Lowball
        The goal is to get the hand with the lowest value

- Omaha
        Four pocket cards are dealt face down, betting ensues, and then five community cards are dealt face up. A player must make a winning hand using two of the pocker cards combined with the three community cards.
