There are many different versions to the game of poker. A popular version of poker played in the United States is a game known as Texas hold ‘em poker. While some Europeans play this game in online casinos, there is another poker variation that has become quite popular in Europe known as Irish hold ‘em poker. This poker version if quite simple to learn and has many similarities to other well known versions of community poker.

The game is actually quite similar to another version of community poker known as Omaha poker. There are actually more similarities that exist between these games than differences. With Irish hold ‘em poker; you actually discard some of your hold cards following the flop or the revealing of the first group of community cards.

In Irish hold ‘em poker; the game begins with wagering before any cards are dealt. In order to play, players must ante money into the pot. After the conclusion of wagering, all players are dealt four cards. These cards are dealt face down. After all players have received their cards, another round of betting ensues. Players can opt to fold, call or raise. Calling is simply placing the wager that is on the table. Rising would be raising the amount wagered. If no one decides to raise the bet on the table, players can also choose to call. This means they get a look at the next card without having to wager any of their money. Once wagering is completed, the flop happens where the first three community cards are dealt on the board. These cards can be used by all players in building their best possible five card poker hand. Now players have access to the four cards n their hand as well as the three community cards on the table. Players then must discard two of the cards in their hand.

Betting continues as community cards are revealed following each betting round. This would continue until the fifth and final community card is dealt. A final round of betting occurs after which hands are revealed and a winner is declared.
