Texas Holdem
Rules: Deal two cards down to each player; bet. Deal three common cards to the center (the "flop") and bet. Deal one more to the center (the "turn") and bet. Deal a final card to the center (the "river") and bet. You can use any combination of your two private cards and the five up cards to make your final hand.

Variants
Alaska Holdem: Like
Texas Holdem, but bigger. Deal three cards to each player initially; discard one after the flop. An additional card, the Avalanche, is dealt after the River -- at this point, the lowest showing rank on the table (which may be the Avalanche) is discarded.
Council Bluffs: Omaha Eights, except that instead of the pivot being 8, it is the value of the river.
Double flop Hold'em: Texas Hold'em, but deal two simultaneous flops, turns and rivers. Split pot between the two.
Double flop Hold'em: Texas Hold'em, but deal two simultaneous flops, turns and rivers. Split pot between the two.
Holdem Loosely: Like Texas Holdem, but after each round of betting, you may pay 5 cents to trade in one of your hole cards, or 10 cents for both.
Omaha: Similar to
Texas Holdem, but deal four cards to each player instead of two. You must use exactly two cards from your hand and three cards from the table to make your hand.
Omaha Eights: Like
Omaha, but the low and high hands split the pot, provided the low hand is 8-high or lower. If no one can make a hand lower than 8-high, the high hand takes the entire pot.
Omaha Showdown: Deal five to each player, bet. Deal a flop, then everyone gets to draw. Bet. Deal the turn and river. Showdown is two from your hand, three from the table, high only.
Spinal Tap: Like Texas Holdem, but you may combine 2 or more number cards that add up to 11 to make a single wild card. Aces do not count as "number cards", and each card can only be used once in this way.
