Let us learn a different type of poker other than Texas holdem, five card stud, five card draw and Omaha Holdem. Yes, pai-gow poker. Now you must be wondering that pai gow sounds a bit Chinese; yes you’re appropriate this casino game is really a combination of the Chinese game pai gow and our very own American poker. Certainly this is not one of the most well-known forms of poker but still it’s widely bet. It may be played by up to seven gamblers.
It’s bet with 1 deck of fifty-two cards, including a joker. Interestingly, the joker can be utilized only as an ace, to complete a straight, a flush, a straight flush, or a royal flush. The essential thing here to remember is apart from the usual rating of hands we have one more succeeding hand which is "Five Aces" (5 aces including the joker). Amazingly, five aces defeat all other hands including royal flush.
Each gambler is dealt seven cards. The cards are set up to form two hands; a 2 card hand and a five card hand. The 5 card hand has to rank greater or be equal to the two card hand. Lastly both of your hands must rank greater than each of your oppositions hands (both five and 2 card hands). Further the 2 card hand can merely have two permutations; one pair and high card.
After the cards are arranged in to two hands, they are positioned on the table face down. Once you place them down, you may not handle them. The croupier will flip over their cards and make his hands. Every players hand is compared to the croupier’s hands. If the player wins 1 hand and loses the other, this is recognized as "push" and no money is won or lost. If croupier wins equally hands then he/she captures the players wager and the other way round. Now what if there is a tie, the only benefit with the croupier here is they is victorious on all ties.
Following the hand is wagered, the next person clock-wise becomes the dealer and the next hand is played. The main downside to this game is that there is no talent required and you depend too much on fortune. Also the odds are weak in comparison to playing with a pot.
