Basic Poker Rules
Many variations of poker exist, but all of them share certain basic rules. Each game involves betting on the strength of your poker hand, and all games feature a ‘pot’ that those bets go into. The player with the strongest hand, or the only player left in the pot after everyone else folds, wins the pot.
All poker games also feature a mandatory bet of some kind. In Hold’em games, this is usually called a ‘blind’ and is wagered when it's one or more players’ turn to post the blinds. In Stud and Draw poker games, this is usually called an ‘ante’ and is wagered every hand, while some games have antes in addition to blinds.
All poker games feature one or more betting rounds in which the player can make one of the following betting choices:
Check - To not bet, with the option to call or raise later in the betting round
Bet - To put chips into the pot
Fold - To release, or ‘muck’, your hand and forfeit any chance of winning the current pot
Call - To put into the pot an amount of chips equal to the most recent bet or raise
Raise - To increase the amount of the current bet
When the betting rounds are complete, if there are multiple players still in the pot, there is a ‘showdown’, where the remaining players show their hands to each other. The person with the best hand wins the pot. If there is only one person left in the pot at the end of a betting round (i.e. everyone else folds), that person does not have to show his hand, and he automatically wins the pot.
Please be sure you review and understand the Poker Hand Rankings before you play!
Texas Hold’em
Texas Hold'em (or simply, ‘Hold'em’) is the most popular poker game in the world. Each player is dealt two cards (‘hole cards’) which belong only to that player. Five community cards are dealt face-up on the ‘board’ and all players may use these cards in conjunction with their own hole cards to make the best five-card poker hand possible. Click here for more on Texas Hold’em Hand Rankings.
6+ Hold'em
This popular 'short deck' format plays much like Texas Hold’em, but with a few exciting differences. All cards lower than a six are removed from the deck, and everyone posts an ante before each hand. Only the button posts a blind - known as the 'button blind'. Unlike traditional hand rankings, a flush beats a full-house and Ace, 6, 7, 8, 9 is classified as a straight.
Showtime Hold’em
Showtime Hold’em plays almost identically to Texas Hold’em (see above), with the exception that every card folded by any player remains face-up and visible for the rest of the hand. This includes all cards folded before and after the flop.
Omaha High and Omaha Hi/Lo
Omaha is similar to Texas Hold’em, but players receive four hole cards instead of two. Hands must consist of exactly two cards from the player’s hole cards and three cards from the board. In Omaha Hi/Lo, and Omaha Eight (played with an ‘eight or better’ qualifier - meaning that a hand must be, at worst, an eight-low to be eligible to win the low portion of the pot), each pot is divided between the best hand for high and the best hand for low (based on traditional hand rankings). We offer Omaha games in both limit and pot limit, while Omaha Hi/Lo and Omaha Eight are available in limit, pot limit and no limit.
PokerStars Fusion
PokerStars Fusion mixes elements of Texas Hold’em with Omaha. Hands play identically to Omaha High, with the exception that players start with just two hole cards, receiving a third on the flop, and a fourth and final hole card on the turn. As with Omaha, exactly two hole cards must be used in combination with three community cards to make the best poker hand. PokerStars Fusion is available as a pot limit ring game.
PokerStars Tempest Hold'em
This unique format ups the ante on traditional Texas Hold'em games. Not only do the antes increase every hand until a showdown is reached, but there's an extra pre-flop blind - known as a Giant Blind - and you only have two options: all-in or fold. Hands play out per regular Texas Hold'em rules (see above), but every pot is 'capped'. That means no player can wager or lose more than 10 Giant Blinds in a single hand.
Deep Water Hold'em
With Giant Blinds and ever-changing antes, Deep Water Hold'em is your chance to dive into Texas Hold'em games with a twist. At the beginning of each hand, every player posts an ante and the player sat to the left of the Big Blind posts a Giant Blind. The antes then increase every hand until a showdown is reached, up to a maximum value. Will you sink or swim? Play Deep Water Hold'em to find out.
5 Card Omaha and 5 Card Omaha Hi/Lo
5 Card Omaha and 5 Card Omaha Hi/Lo are similar in some ways to regular Omaha games, but with a fifth hole card dealt to each player pre-flop. 5 Card Omaha games are available at pot limit and no limit tables, while Hi/Lo games can be played at Limit, pot Limit and no Limit tables.
Courchevel and Courchevel Hi/Lo
Courchevel is an exciting form of 5 Card Omaha, where the first flop card is dealt face up at the beginning of the hand. Courchevel Hi/Lo is a popular split pot form of Omaha poker, where each player is dealt five cards pre-flop. You can play Courchevel and Courchevel Hi/Lo for free at limit, pot limit and no limit tables.
Seven Card Stud and Seven Card Stud Hi/Lo
Seven Card Stud is a classic poker game in which players are dealt seven cards throughout the course of the hand, but only the best five-card hand possible for each player is used to determine the winner. The split pot version of Seven Card Stud Hi/Lo offers a twist to this much-loved game and is played with an ‘eight or better’ qualifier, meaning that a hand must be, at worst, an eight-low to be eligible to win the low portion of the pot.
Razz (7 Card Stud Low)
If you think you can never make a hand, Razz is the game for you. This version of seven-card lowball allows you to aim for the absolute worst five-card hand and still win. The ante and playing structure of Razz is exactly the same as Seven Card Stud except it is played for low instead of high. Straights and flushes are ignored, so the best possible hand is 5,4,3,2,A.
Five Card Draw
In Five Card Draw, the idea is to make the best five-card hand after one ‘draw’ - or substitution of unwanted cards. Players are dealt five hole cards, and once the first round of betting is complete, players select the hole cards they wish to discard (if any) by clicking on them. You can change your mind by clicking on the card(s) a second time. Once players in the hand have completed their draws there is another round of betting, and the winner is either the player left after everyone else has folded, or the player with the best five-card hand.
2-7 Single Draw and 2-7 Triple Draw
2-7 Single Draw and 2-7 Triple Draw are lowball games that force you to make the worst possible low hand. In 2-7 Single Draw, players can discard unwanted cards after the first round of betting. In 2-7 Triple Draw, players can discard unwanted cards after each of the first three rounds of betting. In 2-7 games, an Ace is *always* a high card, and straights and flushes count against you, so in both games, the lowest possible hand is 7,5,4,3,2 of different suits. Please review the 2-7 hand ranking system below before playing either of these exciting poker games.
HORSE & 8-Game Mix (Mixed games)
HORSE (Hold'em, Omaha, Razz, Seven Card Stud, Seven Card Stud Eight-or-Better) is the collection of games that allows you to prove how well-rounded a poker player you are. If you get bored playing one game all the time, try out HORSE to round out your skills. We also offer 8-Game Mix, which is the same rotation as HORSE, but also includes rounds of No Limit Hold’em, Pot Limit Omaha and 2-7 Triple Draw.
Badugi
Badugi is a form of draw poker, where the object of the game is to make the best low hand of different suits, from the four cards you are dealt. After the first betting round, remaining players can discard unwanted cards and draw. Another round of betting then ensues, after which there are two more draw and betting rounds. It's important to understand that in Badugi, pairs and suited cards don't count at all; a 'badugi' is a hand of four different ranks and all four suits. The best hand possible is 4, 3, 2, A, of different suits. Please review the Badugi hand ranking system below before playing.
Poker Hand Rankings
We deal many varieties of poker, some of which use different hand rankings. Hold’em, Omaha, Seven Card Stud and Five Card Draw all use the traditional ‘high’ poker rankings. Omaha Hi/Lo, Razz and Stud Hi/Lo use the ‘Ace to Five’ (‘California’) low hand rankings for low hands. 2-7 Single Draw and 2-7 Triple Draw use the ‘Deuce to Seven’ (‘Kansas City’) lowball rankings for low hands. Lastly, Badugi uses a special ranking of hands unique to that game.
Straight Flush: Five cards in sequence, of the same suit.
In the event of a tie: Highest rank at the top of the sequence wins.
The best possible straight flush is known as a royal flush, which consists of the ace, king, queen, jack and ten of a suit. A royal flush is an unbeatable hand.
Four of a Kind: Four cards of the same rank, and one side card or ‘kicker’.
In the event of a tie: Highest four of a kind wins. In community card games where players have the same four of a kind, the highest fifth side card ('kicker') wins.
Full House: Three cards of the same rank, and two cards of a different, matching rank.
In the event of a tie: Highest three matching cards wins the pot. In community card games where players have the same three matching cards, the highest value of the two matching cards wins.
Flush: Five cards of the same suit.
In the event of a tie: The player holding the highest ranked card wins. If necessary, the second-highest, third-highest, fourth-highest, and fifth-highest cards can be used to break the tie. If all five cards are the same ranks, the pot is split. The suit itself is never used to break a tie in poker.
Straight: Five cards in sequence.
In the event of a tie: Highest ranking card at the top of the sequence wins.
Note: The Ace may be used at the top or bottom of the sequence, and is the only card which can act in this manner. A,K,Q,J,T is the highest (Ace high) straight; 5,4,3,2,A is the lowest (Five high) straight.
Three of a kind: Three cards of the same rank, and two unrelated side cards.
In the event of a tie: Highest ranking three of a kind wins. In community card games where players have the same three of a kind, the highest side card, and if necessary, the second-highest side card wins.
Two pair: Two cards of a matching rank, another two cards of a different matching rank, and one side card.
In the event of a tie: Highest pair wins. If players have the same highest pair, highest second pair wins. If both players have two identical pairs, highest side card wins.
One pair: Two cards of a matching rank, and three unrelated side cards.
In the event of a tie: Highest pair wins. If players have the same pair, the highest side card wins, and if necessary, the second-highest and third-highest side card can be used to break the tie.
In the event of a tie: Highest card wins, and if necessary, the second-highest, third-highest, fourth-highest and smallest card can be used to break the tie.
This method of ranking low hands is used in traditional Hi/Lo games, like Omaha Hi/Lo and Stud Hi/Lo, as well as in Razz, the ‘low only’ Stud game.
Note that suits are irrelevant for Ace to Five low. A flush or straight does not ‘break’ an Ace to Five low poker hand. Aces are always a ‘low’ card when considering a low hand.
Please also note that the value of a five-card low hand starts with the top card, and goes down from there.
Five Low, or Wheel: The Five, Four, Three, Deuce and Ace.
In the event of a tie: All Five-high hands split the pot.
Six Low: Any five unpaired cards with the highest card being a Six.
Poker starting hands. I don’t want to raise so often that I force the blinds to adjust.
In the event of a tie: The lower second-highest ranking card wins the pot. Thus 6,4,3,2,A defeats 6,5,4,2,A. If necessary, the third-highest, fourth-highest and fifth-highest cards in the hand can be used to break the tie.
Seven Low: Any five unpaired cards with the highest card being a Seven.
In the event of a tie: The lower second-highest ranking card wins the pot. If necessary, the third-highest, fourth-highest and fifth-highest cards in the hand can be used to break the tie.
Eight Low: Any five unpaired cards with the highest card being an Eight.
In the event of a tie: The lower second-highest ranking card wins the pot. If necessary, the third-highest, fourth-highest and fifth-highest cards in the hand can be used to break the tie.
An Eight Low is the weakest hand that qualifies for low in Omaha Hi/Lo and Stud Hi/Lo. However in Razz, there is no such ‘qualifier’ and the lowest hand will always win the pot, even if it is a nine low, queen low, or even a pair!
The 2-7 Lowball hand rankings are the exact opposite of the traditional ‘high’ hand rankings. Therefore, the worst possible hand in traditional high poker – seven-deuce high, with different suits, becomes the best possible hand in 2-7 lowball (a ‘perfect seven’ low or ‘wheel’).
In practice, an ace always plays as a high card in 2-7 (so A,5,4,3,2 is an ace high, not a straight). Straights and flushes count against your hand in 2-7.
Seven Low: Any five unpaired, unconnected cards of different suits, with the highest card being a seven. The best possible hand is 7,5,4,3,2, also known as a ‘wheel’ or ‘number one’.
In the event of a tie: The lower second card wins the pot. Thus 7,5,4,3,2 beats 7,6,5,3,2 (a ‘Seven-Five low’ is better than a ‘Seven-Six low’). If necessary, the third-highest, fourth-highest and fifth-highest cards in the hand can be used to break the tie.
Eight Low: Any five unpaired, unconnected cards of different suits, with the highest card being an eight.

In the event of a tie: The lower second card wins the pot. If necessary, the third-highest, fourth-highest and fifth-highest cards in the hand can be used to break the tie.
Nine Low: Any five unpaired, unconnected cards of different suits, with the highest card being a nine.
In the event of a tie: The lower second card wins the pot. If necessary, the third-highest, fourth-highest and fifth-highest cards in the hand can be used to break the tie.
Ten Low: Any five unpaired, unconnected cards of different suits, with the highest card being a ten.
In the event of a tie: The lower second card wins the pot. If necessary, the third-highest, fourth-highest and fifth-highest cards in the hand can be used to break the tie.
Note: There is no ‘qualifier’ for low in 2-7 lowball games. The above are just examples of hands that may come up in play – the lowest hand will always win the pot in 2-7, even if it is a pair or worse!
Badugi does not use traditional poker hand rankings and it takes some practice to learn how to correctly read the hands. Badugi hand rankings are somewhat related to the Ace to Five rankings; like in Ace to Five, an ace always plays as a low card. However, unlike Ace to Five, each card in your hand must be a different suit and a different rank, in order to count.
Badugi hands consist of four cards, instead of the usual five. Because of this it is impossible to make a five-card straight, and having four cards in sequence does not hurt your hand.
Remember, if you have cards of the same suit, only one of them counts, and if you have pairs, only one of them counts.
Badugi: A badugi is any hand which consists of four unpaired cards, each a different suit.
In the event of a tie: The lower second card wins the pot. If necessary, the third-highest and fourth-highest cards in the hand can be used to break the tie.
Three-Card Hand: Any hand consisting of three unpaired cards of different suits, but a fourth paired or suited card. The lowest three unpaired cards of different suits play.
Because there is a pair, one of the fours does not count, so it is simply ignored, making a 4,2,A three-card hand.
Because there are two hearts in this hand, one of them is ignored, making a 3,2,A three-card hand.
In the event of a tie: The lower second card wins the pot. If necessary, the third-highest card in the hand can be used to break the tie. The fourth (paired or suited) card does not count toward the hand and is not used to break ties.
Two-Card Hand: Any hand consisting of two unpaired cards of different suits, but two paired or suited cards. The lowest two unpaired cards of different suits play.
Because there are two pairs, one of each pair is discarded, making a 5,A two-card hand.
Because there are three hearts, two of them are discarded, making a 2,A two-card hand.
In the event of a tie: The lower second card wins the pot. The third and fourth (paired or suited) cards do not count toward the hand and are not used to break ties.
One-Card Hand: A hand consisting of only one playable card. The lowest card plays.
Since there are four Aces, three of them are discarded, making a one-card hand of just an Ace.
Since there are four cards of the same suit, three of them are discarded, making a one-card hand of just a Three.
In the event of a tie: The pot is split between two equal one-card hands.

*We only list poker sites with established industry-standard banking options and 100% regulated licenses
BetOnline Poker is an online poker room that is widely known for its turbulent history and unpredictable reputation. Even thought it has been in the business for over a decade, this poker site only recently managed to build a name for itself in the online gambling industry.
Back in the early days, BetOnline was founded as part of the Action Poker network that was soon after renamed into the Chico Poker network. Only BetOnline and one other poker site from the network were able to cater to US citizens, but this only brought on further trouble.
Nowadays as an independent online poker room, BetOnline is able to provide highly rewarding bonuses, improved gaming software and fair play.
BetOnline Poker Software & Graphics
The basic, functional and simplistic software of BetOnline’s grass roots was replaced by a more robust and efficient program structure during the last few years. The main reason behind such innovations lies in the fact that this poker room abandoned the Chico Poker network and now functions as an independent provider.
One major improvement in the poker software can be noticed in the customization options. Players today are able to set their own avatar, choose designs and color patterns for the card decks, lobby and poker tables. The note-taking feature is another novelty that can be good top mark your poker buddy but can also be misused by ‘sharks’ who like following their prey.
The platform support is another addition to the previous bare functionality of BetOnline. This operator has recently switched from the instant-play option to a downloadable client for both Mac and Windows users.

Frequently Asked Questions
New players always get the most attention from online poker rooms, as these services try to hold their attention with shiny and irresistible offers. BetOnline is certainly one of the shiniest services in the industry, as it offers their own must-have Welcome Bonus for first depositors with a 100% match capped at $1,000.
These players need to address the customer service via email as soon as they fund their poker account for the first time. Once they receive the bonus money, players are given 60 days to clear the bonus at a 33% rakeback clear rate.
Other promotion offers for BetOnline players include the frequent Bad Beat bonus which is known as a jackpot on this site. If you lose with a strong hand, you and the other losers on the table take the six-figure jackpot. Refer-a-friend is another possibility for poker players to boost their bankroll, although it doesn’t offer any significant amounts.
BetOnline does have some surprising shortcomings, such as the lack of a standard VIP program. Players are still encouraged to collect their points and use them to enter tournaments and satellites, but there are no set tiers and ranks which mark the player’s status.
BetOnline Game Selection & Player Traffic
The game selection might seem quite varied to the new eye, but regulars at BetOnline are aware that only a couple of games receive the player traffic needed to present them as real gambling opportunities. No Limit Texas Hold’em and Omaha dominate the scene, while Fixed Limit Hold’em exists almost solely on paper. Other game options include 7 Card Stud, Americana and 32 Card Draw, but without any significant player pools.
BetOnline Deposit & Withdrawal Options
This aspect of the BetOnline Poker site has proved to deserve all the praise it regularly receives. Its deposit and withdrawal processing time is bound to set a record at some point.
The selection of depositing options that BetOnline Poker players can choose from covers a wide range of payment methods. Starting from the standard credit and debit card payments via MasterCard, Visa and Maestro, this site also offers cash transfers through services like bank wire transfers and multiple e-wallet options. Bitcoin is also a possibility, and is even recommended due to its promptness.
Withdrawals can be processed with more or less the same payment methods, with the addition of a check by mail withdrawal that takes the longest. Bitcoin is advisable for these transactions as well, mostly due to the fact it has anonymity and security as additional advantages compared to other prompt payment options.
All the various transaction possibilities have their own specifications. Hence, if you wish to transfer via a certain channel, the best thing to do is to check the specific conditions. They usually have a minimum and maximum deposit and withdrawal amount, while some may impose a fee for the transfer service.
BetOnline Security & Customer Support
One of the reasons why this site has long remained in the industry’s background is the lack of proper security measures and unethical behavior. There have been numerous complaints, disputes and whole media scandals caused by regulatory inconsistencies.
One major scandal which seriously undermined the site’s credibility was related to the username and password information. All customer representatives were revealed to have access to such information and virtually no obstacle if they choose to empty the players’ accounts.
Other issues regarding unethical behavior on behalf of BetOnline concerned unfounded funds confiscation which could range from a couple of hundred dollars to amounts over $50,000. This poker room has also been charged for lying about its network, the security measures it employs and other primary info like the year it was founded etc. All this has made people turn against it and forced BetOnline to rethink its actions and consequences. Nowadays, it seems to be a reformed site which has the players’ best interests at heart.
The same inconsistency can be said to reflect the situation with BetOnline’s customer service and support center. Various player experiences have witnessed completely opposite treatments, as some players are unable to get answers to general questions, while others are able to construct an in-depth understanding.
If you wish to try your luck and give the reformed and improved BetOnline a chance, keep in mind that you can contact their support agents via phone or fax line, email and live chat.
