Here’s how a typical game of Texas Hold’em is played:

• Each player gets two cards face down.
• Everyone uses these cards in combination with five community cards to make the best hand.
• There are typically four rounds of betting. You can always double or triple your stack.
• The player with the best hand wins.
• In the event of identical hands, the pot is divided between the players.

The most popular game is Texas Hold’em, where you get two cards and combine them with five community cards. However, more variations are waiting for you online:

• Pot-Limit Omaha. It is a popular form of poker in Europe, and now it's spreading throughout Canada.
• Omaha Hi-Lo. This is a "split-pot" game. At showdown, the pot is divided in half.
• 7 Card Stud. This game is played with two downcards and one upcard.
• 5 Card Draw. Each player gets five cards.
• Short Deck Hold'em. Every player gets two cards, but there are three rounds of community cards.

If you've ever watched sports on TV in Canada, you've seen ads for online casinos. Of course, TV shows won't air ads for illegal services. Just like you can fly to LA for a poker tournament, you can log in to a gambling website. The casino should be located outside of Canada and properly licensed. Gambling winnings aren't usually treated as income. In other words, they're tax-free. Professional gamblers are the exception.

There are many reasons for playing:

• Less intimidating when you don't see other players.
• A huge choice of games.
• There is always a free table.
• Rounds are faster than at real-life venues.
• Games run 24/7.
