Home Poker Games Variations

Question about different variations of poker?
I have a home game going about once a week and we always play dealer's choice. Most of us choose Texas Hold Em (I occasionally mix it up with 7 card stud and 5 card draw) but one player loves changing the game up every time. He's introduced us to a lot of variations, some of which I've liked: Pineapple, Omaha Hi, Lowball and Anaconda. Does anyone know:
a) any online poker sites that offer these games? (I realize Omaha is quite popular, so exclude that one from this question)
b) Any sites that offer strategy on these variations?
As a side question, can anyone explain what a "triple draw" game is? For instance, on Poker Stars, they offer 2-7 Triple Draw.
I know UltimateBet offers Pineapple, Omaha Hi an Triple Draw in the free rooms. Not sure about Lowball, and I don't know what Anaconda is.
Triple Draw is 5-card draw, but you try to make the best low hand. Unlike Omaha hi-lo, straights count as a high hand, and aces are always high. Flushes are also high-only. The best low is 23457.
It's called triple draw because you draw three times.

Understanding Poker Game
Poker is a gambling card game which has become popular around the world. There are books being published and purchased by many people, including those who even have the slightest interest in poker. They want to get access to notes containing all about poker and the tips involved towards a successful gaming. These days, we have the internet which allows us to get access to plenty of websites which are dedicated to the poker game. More and more people want to join online poker games, because online poker allows them to gamble from the comfort of their homes. However, one should understand the fact that poker should be considered as a game of skill rather than a game of luck.
A standard poker game is based on those special five cards which can either make or break the deal. The various categories of poker game, includes the Royal Flush, Straight Flush, Four of a kind, Full House, Flush, Straight, Three of a kind, two pairs and also High Card. A wild Card or a Joker is considered to be a universal card because it can be used as any type of card. Usually, the rules of poker are the same all over the world. However, one should always get into the habit of confirming the rules of the game, at the place where he is playing. This is because a slightest variation in the system of the game can bring a drastic change in the result. Hence, the majority of top rated poker players in the world are always of the opinion that the rules of poker should be universally identical.
Poker games are been also played the riverboats floating on the waters. This sort of environment is been liked by all the players. A professional poker player always believes that poker is a game that consists of discipline, focus, patience and also involves maths. One need to know how to calculate things with regard to pot odds, outs and implied odds etc. If a person has mastered the necessary mathematical skills of poker, he will then certainly be able to override the performance of other poker players. A professional player of poker would know the entire tricks and thus be able to trap the opponent, leading to victory. Even a player who posses the weakest set of cards, can win by fooling the other player to believe that he has a very strong hand. Thus, the remaining players would just give up to the person who is bluffing and finally moves out of the game. None of the players get any straight information about who is holding what cards. The only clue that a player can get is based on the outward body signs of the players, in the form of nervousness or confidence that is displayed by the players. However, there can be a possibility that all of them could be bluffing. This situation makes poker more exciting till the very end. Thus, it is important to be able to read other players, gambling or playing patterns, which will allow you to win easily.
