The three tournaments listed above all use one form or another of Texas Hold Em and some of them start with one at the lower tiers, and then change to others as you progress. This appears to be a better measure of the players ability rather than the luck of the draw. You can see what you have and bet accordingly, in fact, you have four chances to bet in this game. Each player gets two cards face down and they can bet, check or fold at that time, then three cards are dealt face up in front of the dealer, and again the player can bet, the fourth card, placed in front of the dealer, called the turn, gives another chance to bet. The fifth card to the dealer is called the river and is your final chance to bet.
