Let us learn a different kind of poker other than Texas holdem, five card stud, 5 card draw and Omaha. Yes, pai gow poker. Now you have to be wondering that double-hand sounds a little Chinese; yes you are proper this casino game is really a combination of the Chinese casino game pai-gow and our very own US poker. Surely this isn’t one of the most popular styles of poker but still it’s widely bet. It may be played by up to 7 gamblers.
It’s bet with 1 deck of 52 cards, plus a joker. Interestingly, the joker may be utilized only as an ace, to finish a straight, a flush, a straight flush, or a royal flush. The significant thing here to remember is aside from the normal rating of hands we have 1 more winning hand that’s "5 Aces" (5 aces which includes the joker). Amazingly, 5 aces defeat all other hands which includes royal flush.
Each and every player is dealt 7 cards. The cards are organized to form 2 hands; a two card hand and a five card hand. The five card hand has to rank higher or be equal to the 2 card hand. Lastly both of your hands must rank higher than both of your competitors hands (each five and two card hands). Further the 2 card hand can just have 2 permutations; one pair and high card.
Immediately after the cards are set up in to two hands, they are placed on the table face down. Once you place them down, you can not handle them. The croupier will turn over his cards and make their hands. Each gamblers hand is compared to the dealer’s hands. If the player wins one hand and loses the other, this is recognized as "push" and no money is exchanged. If croupier wins equally hands then they wins the players stake and the other way around. Now what if there is a tie, the only edge with the croupier here is he/she wins all ties.
Right after the hand is played, the next person clock-wise becomes the dealer and the next hand is played. The major drawback to this game is that there is no skill involved and you rely too much on luck. Also the odds are negative in comparison to wagering with a pot.
