Rules and strategies are an important part of poker, not knowing the proper rules of a game could cost you big. How big depends on the situation of course but no matter a cash game or a tournament, though not knowing a rule could mean a hit to our pocketbook or a trip to the rail.
It was in a pursuit to find if a certain rule applied to the game of Texas holdem, to win a bet with a friend I stumbled upon this a site with extensive rules for all the popular poker games. Texas holdem, 5- card draw, 2-7 triple draw and a lot more, not only rules but strategies for each game for players from all skill levels.
The Texas holdem rules section had all the basics for a beginner to understand how the game flows and terminology needed to understand what is happening. They also provide strategy tips for beginners, intermediate and advance players.
I bet we all have hastily tried to join the last seat in a sit n go at your favorite site only to find out that it was an Omaha 8 or better game and by the time you figured out what was going on, your buy-in was wasted. This site offers Omaha 8/b rules and strategies for the beginners and intermediate players in an easy to read format. Who knows, may save you that buy-in.
One of the games I am trying to get into, especially playing at Pokerstars where you can find just about any game going now is 7 card stud. The 7 card stud rules and strategies was a good read and though it may not tell you every intricacy of the game it at least gave me a good basis to get started and see if I wanted to pursue it any further.
If you are new to the game or in the beginning stages of learning how to play or just want to switch games for a while like I did, this site will provide you with great information and I highly recommend it.
