Seven card stud is played every day at online poker rooms. This is the most popular of the Stud poker variants. 7 card stud has been around for hundreds of years and was one of the main games played in the old west. You start off placing an ante into the pot and then each played is dealt two downcards and one upcard. You'll receive a total of 4 upcards and 3 down cards. There is 5 bets in Stud so it is much more complex than Hold'em. You can play 7 Card Stud at Pokerstars, the poker room with the highest Stud traffic. They accept US players and are widely recognized as the best online poker room. Another Stud poker variant is 7 card stud hilo. This is a plit pot game, the player with the lowest hand will win 1/2 the pot, if the hand is 8 or less. This game is nearly as popular as normal. Stud and is a favorite amongst tournament players. The final Stud poker game is Razz poker. You won't find as many players at the Razz poker tables but there is still more than enough action. In Razz you want the lowest hand possible.

A mixed poker game is a rotation of specific card games. In HORSE poker for example, you will play Holdem, Omaha HL, Razz, Stud and Stud Hilo. The number of hands per card game is usually 6-10. The most popular mixed poker games in 2010 are H.O.R.S.E poker, 7 Game Mix Poker and 8 Game Mix Poker. There are over 50 mixed poker variants so chosing one that matches your poker skills is important. The thing I love most about mixed games is the weak competition. Noone is an expert at every poker game so its all about finding their weaknesses and taking advantage of them. Mixed game play has seen incredible growth in the last couple years so you should really look into it. I play mostly at Pokerstars as they have the best traffic and game selection.

2-7 Triple Draw is the most complicated card game I have ever played. It is a lot like 5 card draw but you want the worst possible hand. The only decent place to play it is Pokerstars. They have a huge 27 Triple Draw community and their software is amazing. You get to draw 3 times so that is what makes the game so tough. Knowing when to fold or which cards to keep is something you can only learn through experience and study.
