Novice Tactics for Double-Hand Poker

October 19th, 2009 Leave a comment Go to comments

Pai Gow Poker is a cutting-edge game with ancient ancestry. Built on the ancient Chinese tile game and the modern American version of poker, Pai Gow poker joins the far east with the west in a wonderful game for starting gamblers.

Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the gambler versus the casino, not like nearly all other poker games that players play against other gamblers. By betting against the dealer, starting players don’t need to worry about other, more skillful players taking their $$$$.

An additional Pai Gow advantage is the fairly slow game pace, newcomers should be able to take their time and plan while not needing to make frenzied selections.

It is also much simpler to enjoy for a very long time with just a small bit of cash after all, to not win, both of your hands needs to be under each of the houses hands.

Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the customary 52-card basic deck and one joker. The gambler is given 7 cards face up and the house is given seven cards face down.

One 5 card hand and a two card hand must be made from the 7 cards dealt, the five card hand must be better than the 2 card hand. To win, a player is required to have both of his hand totals to be larger than the dealer’s.
