What types of poker can you play online

The types of poker you can play online depend largely on which site you are playing on. There are sites out there which only offer Texas Holdem, although most offer a variety. You could say that probably every site in existence offers at the very least, Holdem. I have yet to see a site that does not, but the more usual list of games you will find online are Omaha, Stud, and Holdem.

Omaha is often offered in normal and hi/lo varieties and the same applies to Stud. Sometimes you will also find Five Card Stud offered as well as the more traditional Seven Card. I would say certainly that the online industry should look to offer as many games as possible, but then as a player myself, of course I want as much choice as possible. From the online sites perspective, they gain nothing from having lesser known games available that hardly anyone will use, and so we cannot be too hard on sites that do not have a large variety.

Increases in the amount of games available on a site are usually going to be a byproduct of increased player traffic remember.

Some sites you will find offer the basic three games and also one or two extras in the form of either five card draw, Razz or even Triple Draw. But these games are hard to find, Pokerstars being one site which offers all of these games. Overall, as I mentioned, it would be good to have extra variety on most sites as even the most stoic Holdem player gets tired of the game sometimes and needs a change. But this will always be subject to a reasonable amount of interest from players online.
