Would anyone be able to tell me the two most common types of poker played in the Northeastern section of the U.S.? I am just starting to learn and would like to be able to play more than one.

(IMHO) Hold'em and Stud are the top two pretty much everywhere, at least in casinos.

I would say, Hold'em and Omaha high-low, but like accents, it varies with locale.

To Mary (and Paul),
As of two and a half years ago, Stud was still king in the Northeast with Holdem slowly gaining ground. If you are going to play in A.C., I would concentrate on those two first. You will at least have a better table and limit selection. I am curious to hear from players that frequent Foxwoods. - Nathaniel Brous

NE, then play hold'em and 7 card stud. NW then learn hold'em and pineapple. Canada, learn hold'em and omaha.

HI, I LIVE IN NEW JERSEY AND HAVE BEEN PLAYING POKER FOR OVER TEN YEARS AND THE TWO MOST WIDE SPREAD GAMES IN THE NORTHEAST ARE SEVEN CARD STUD AND TEXAS HOLD-EM.
THAT INCLUDES ATLANTIC CITY AND FOXWOODS.
THEY ALSO SPREAD SOME OMAHA AND STUD 8 OR BETTER, BUT YOUR BIGGEST SELECTION WILL COME FROM STUD AND HOLDEM.
GET SOME GOOD BOOKS, STUDY, AND GOOD LUCK!
REMEMBER TO TAKE ONE THING WITH YOU WHEN YOU GO,
BESIDES YOUR MONEY...
YOUR DISCIPLINE!!
VERY IMPORTANT IF YOU WANT TO BE A WINNING PLAYER.
