Online poker used to be relegated to just No-Limit Hold’em cash games but these days there are literally hundreds of variants available to poker players. Here’s a quick look at some of the most common types of poker games you will encounter online. Every poker game that is offered online can be labeled as a tournament or a cash game (also known as a ring game). These two different poker games are vastly different in format and strategy. Players buy into a tournament for an entrance fee and receive a select number of chips. When those chips are gone the player is out of the tournament. Those who place high will receive a cash reward. Tournament buy-ins varies from $.10 all the way up to $25,000. In cash games players buy in and play with their money on the table. Everything they win from other players they can keep if they leave the table ahead. If a player loses his money he can re-buy. Stakes range from $.01/$.02 all the way up to $2,000/$4,000.
