Many people know at least two very famous types of poker in Italy, up to the fact that one of them is called Italian poker, and the other is unofficially called Poker Texano or Poker Texas: we are talking about Texas Hold’em, probably the most famous poker specialty in the world. Recently, however, two other forms of the game have become increasingly popular: Telesina and Omaha. Let’s take an in-depth look at how to play poker using four varieties of poker as examples.

Texas Hold’em Poker

Texas Hold’em (or Hold’em) Poker is the most popular variant of poker in casinos in the United States and beyond. The simplicity and popularity of Hold’em has inspired many books and movies on strategy. Hold’em has practically replaced all other forms of poker around the world, including in Italy. The no-limit version of Texas Hold’em is played at major world poker tournaments: the World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event and the World Poker Tour (WPT) Main Event. Let’s take a brief look at the rules and how to play this poker mode.

Italian Poker

Italian Poker, also known as 5 Card Poker or Traditional Poker, is nothing less than the Italian version of 5 Card Draw. It is considered to be the simplest version of poker and is the basis for video poker machines, so it is often the first option new players learn. It is usually played at home at the amateur level, but rarely in casinos and tournaments, and can sometimes be found on some Internet sites.

The main difference between the Italian and American versions is the “special deck” mode: it is played with a different number of cards compared to the standard 52-card deck, depending on the number of players at the table. The lowest card in the game is 11 minus the number of players. For example, if there are 5 players at the table, there will be 36 cards played, from 6 to an ace, since 11-5 = 6, so all cards less than 6 are excluded from the deck. Usually the number of players in this poker mode is 4 or 5.

Omaha Poker

L ‘ Omaha is a type of poker very similar to Texas Hold’em Poker. In fact, common cards are formed from a three-card flop, a fourth card called the turn, and then a fifth card called the river.

The main difference is that each player is dealt four hole cards first (instead of two). A player must use exactly two hole cards and three cards from the table to make a hand, so it is not possible to form a point using other card combinations (e.g., three cards from his hand and two from the board, or four from his hand and one from the board, etc.), with the result that all Texas Hold’em rules apply to Omaha, except the table rule. The betting rounds are the same as in Texas Hold’em, but you must show the entire four-card hand to make the pot.

Telesina Poker

Telesina is an Italian poker specialty, sometimes also known as Teresina . Just as Italian poker is a version of 5-card draw poker, Telesina is a variation of 5-card stud poker and similarly, the main difference from the American version concerns the use of a “stripped” deck . Telesina is also part of those poker specialties that are considered amateur, in fact, it is often played in home games as a break between different combinations in a game of another poker specialty or when certain conditions defined in the house rules are met.
