Editing List of poker variants (section)

==Popular poker variants==
The most popular poker variants can be divided into three broad groups:
* '''[[Draw poker]]''': Games in which players are dealt a complete hand, hidden, and then improve it by replacing cards. The most common of these is [[five-card draw]].
* '''[[Stud poker]]''': Games in which each player receives a combination of face-up cards and face-down cards in multiple betting rounds. The most common of these are [[five-card stud]] and [[seven-card stud]]. These two variants are further played in other different formats.
* '''[[Community card poker]]''': Games in which each player's incomplete hidden hand is combined with shared face-up cards. The most common of these are [[Texas hold 'em]] and [[Omaha hold 'em]].

Some common rule variations include:
*[[Wild card (poker)|Wild card]]s are added. This can range from adding jokers as wild card, to making certain low cards such as deuces wild to the 7-card stud variant named baseball.
*[[Lowball (poker)|Lowball]]: The lowest hand wins the pot. There are different rules about whether or not aces count as low, and the effects of straights and flushes. The most common variants are [[Razz (poker)|Razz]] and [[2-7 Triple Draw]]
*[[High-low split]]: the highest and lowest hands split the pot. Generally there is a qualifier for the low hand. For example, the low hand must have 5 cards with ranks of 8 or less. In most high-low games the usual rank of poker hands is observed, so that an unsuited broken straight (7-5-4-3-2) wins low (see Morehead, Official Rules of Card Games). In a variant, based on Lowball, where only the low hand wins, a straight or a flush does not matter for a low hand. So the best low hand is 5-4-3-2-A, suited or not.
*Players can pass cards to each other. An example of this would be [[Anaconda (poker)|Anaconda]].
*[[Betting (poker)#Kill game|Kill game]]: When a fixed-limit game is played and some condition triggers the stakes to double. A common version is if the same player wins two or more games in a row.
*A [[twist (poker)|twist]] round in which players can buy another card from the deck. If a player does not like the purchased card, the player can purchase another one by adding money to the pot. This is sometimes called a "tittle."

===Mixed poker games===
Poker can be played in a mixed game format in which each variant will usually be played for a fixed number of hands or time and then the players will move on to the next game. There are many types of mixed poker games. The most notable mixed poker variation is [[HORSE (poker)|HORSE]] poker, a mix of Texas hold 'em, Omaha high-low, razz, seven-card stud and seven-card stud eight-or-better.
