Let us learn a different type of poker other than hold’em, seven card stud, 5 card draw and Omaha Hold’em. Yes, pai gow poker. Now you should be wondering that double-hand sounds a little Chinese; yes you’re correct this casino game is a blend of the Chinese game pai gow and our very own Yankee poker. Surely this is not 1 of the most well-liked styles of poker but still it is widely bet. It may be wagered by up to 7 gamblers.
It’s wagered with 1 deck of fifty-two cards, plus a joker. Curiously, the joker may be used only as an ace, to finish a straight, a flush, a straight flush, or a royal flush. The crucial element here to keep in mind is other than the usual rating of hands we have one more succeeding hand which is "Five Aces" (five aces such as the joker). Remarkably, 5 aces defeat all other hands including royal flush.
Every player is dealt 7 cards. The cards are organized to make two hands; a 2 card hand and a 5 card hand. The 5 card hand has to rank greater or be equal to the two card hand. Finally both of your hands need to rank greater than both of your competitors hands (each five and 2 card hands). Additionally the two card hand can merely have two permutations; 1 pair and high card.
Following the cards are organized in to 2 hands, they are positioned on the table face down. Once you put them down, you may no longer touch them. The croupier will turn over their cards and make his hands. Each and every players hand is in comparison to the dealer’s hands. If the player wins 1 hand and manages to lose the other, this is recognized as "push" and no money is exchanged. If dealer wins both hands then he/she captures the gamblers wager and the opposite way round. Now what if there’s a tie, the only advantage with the dealer here is he/she wins all ties.
Immediately after the hand is wagered, the following person clock-wise becomes the dealer and the next hand is played. The major disadvantage to this game is that there is no ability involved and you depend too much on fortune. Also the chances are terrible in comparison to betting with a pot.
