Im starting to like omaha and stud hi/lo versions online in addition to holdem because you can often find strictly holdem players joining these games with no real knowledge of how to play. I am by no means an expert on either of these games but I have read a few books on each and have developed a basic strategy that is successfull at low stakes. It can be very profitable if you get a few live ones at the table who dont understand the basics (for example using only two of your four cards in omaha).

For home games, anaconda and baseball are fun. I've also made up some completely new games and slightly different variations of a few of these. As long as little or no money is involved, I will play these offbeat games. When it comes to playing for real money though, I stick to the main games.

I enjoy dealer's choice games a great deal because I think I do very
well at adapting to different formats and changing gears quickly.
Plus the variety is more enjoyable.


For standard "casino" play my favorite is Hold'em of course. Winning three
tourneys in the format can do that for you.


My least favorite is Draw poker. Two rounds of betting?! What's the
point?

Looks interesting although even from looking at the demo, I'm not sure exactly how play works. Is it just heads up that you can play?

Playing The Mahjong Solitaire Game

Hi,

If no moves are made for at least 15 seconds, the game prompts which tiles can be swapped: 2 tiles blink for 2 seconds. The prompt does not necessarily indicate the optimal move -- just a possible move.

A player can only remove the tiles one pair at a time. There are a total of 72 pairs in a game of MahJong Solitaire. Like cards, the tiles have standard suits. These suits are Characters, Bamboos, Circles, Dragons, Winds, Seasons, and Flowers. The table below shows all of the tiles.
When matching pairs, Seasons and Flowers are the only suits you do not need to match exactly. Any Season or Flower combination counts as a pair because there is only one of each tile.

Each time you start a game, you are granted 5 shuffles. When no pairs are left, you may use a shuffle. When you have no more pairs and no more shuffles, the game is over. If you clear the board, you move to the next round, which will have a different layout.

And I can recommend you a good Mahjong Site to play online and help you recording Top Score in this game. If you play Mahjong for fun, here's your opportunity to 'spice-up' the game and use your skill to try and win some money!

Thanks

Favorite online video poker variations.

My favorite poker games are :

·Variations of the basic 5 draw card game.

Favorite Video Poker Game?
There are so many variations on video poker now… bonus, double bonus, triple bonus…. Then there is also, Jokers, Jacks or Better or Deuces Wild. And lets not forget the multi-hand games where you can sometimes play up to 50 or more hands at a time. My favorite to play is Deuces Wild and a 10 hand or more machine.

Deuces Wild,
·Pay Schedule modifications, where 4 aces with a 5 or smaller card pays an enhanced amount, usually those area the machines with a “bonus”, ”double” or “triple” sign.
