In poker games, the royal flush is considered the strongest hand, while the high card is considered the least powerful.

Variants of Poker on Stake

Texas Hold’em

The object of the game is for players to form a five-card poker hand that ranks higher than the other players’ five-card poker hands. Each player may use any combination of the two cards initially dealt to them at the beginning of the game, referred to as “hole” cards, and the five cards dealt on the table throughout the course of the game, referred to as “community” cards or “board” cards. They may play the board by using no-hole cards and using the five community cards to make the highest-ranking five-card poker hand, according to the rankings as shown below.

Omaha


The rules of Omaha are very similar to the rules of Texas Hold ’em. The only difference is that every player receives four cards face down (the ‘hole cards’) and has to pick exactly two of their four-hole cards and three of the five community cards to make the best five-card hand.

Pineapple Poker

The Pineapple poker is played the same as standard Texas Hold’em, but on pre-flop, the players receive three-hole cards instead of two. Then, each player evaluates their cards and discards one of them after the flop. After that, the game follows the usual rules of Texas Hold'em.
