Let us learn a various sort of poker other than holdem, 5 card stud, five card draw and Omaha Holdem. Yes, pai gow poker. Now you ought to be wondering that double-hand sounds a bit Chinese; yes you’re proper this casino game is really a blend of the Chinese game pai gow and our very own American poker. Definitely this isn’t 1 of the most well-liked styles of poker but still it’s widely wagered. It might be bet by up to 7 players.

It is wagered with one deck of fifty-two cards, including a joker. Interestingly, the joker may be employed only as an ace, to complete a straight, a flush, a straight flush, or a royal flush. The essential element here to bear in mind is other than the usual ranking of hands we have one more winning hand that is "5 Aces" (5 aces which includes the joker). Amazingly, five aces beat all other hands which includes royal flush.

Each and every gambler is dealt seven cards. The cards are arranged to form two hands; a two card hand and a five card hand. The 5 card hand has to rank higher or be equal to the two card hand. Finally both of your hands have to rank greater than each of your competitors hands (each 5 and 2 card hands). Further the 2 card hand can just have 2 combinations; one pair and high card.

Immediately after the cards are arranged in to two hands, they are positioned on the table face down. Once you place them down, you can no longer touch them. The dealer will flip over his cards and make his hands. Each and every players hand is compared to the croupier’s hands. If the player wins 1 hand and manages to lose the other, this is identified as "push" and no money is won or lost. If dealer wins equally hands then he/she captures the players wager and vice versa. Now what if there is a tie, the only edge with the croupier here is he/she is victorious on all ties.

Following the hand is bet, the following person clock-wise becomes the dealer and the next hand is bet. The main drawback to this game is that there is no talent involved and you rely too much on good fortune. Also the chances are terrible compared to wagering with a pot.
