Poker is a game that relies more on a players
skill rather than luck no matter if its played
online or offline. As far as skills are
concerned, it takes time to hone particular
skills whether it is communication skills, art,
hobby. The same goes for poker. For a beginner,
poker can be intimidating whether online or
offline as there are rules and regulations which
might be hard to grasp at the first few games.
Also, the game comes in many forms such as Texas
Holdem, OMAHA, etc. Before diving into the hand
ranking of poker ratings, Lets shed some light

given two cards in hand. A player can i) use two

players are given four or five cards in hand,
depending on 4 cards Omaha or 5 cards Omaha. Once
cards are given to players, five cards are opened
on the table. These five cards on the board can
be used by any player in any combination and
whosoever makes the best five cards wins that
poker hand. Players can use only and only three
cards from the board and have to use two cards
from the cards given to them.

These two modes of the game are the most popular
