Double-Hand Poker Game Rules
Let us learn a several sort of poker other than holdem, seven card stud, five card draw and Omaha Holdem. Yes, pai gow poker. Now you should be wondering that pai gow sounds a bit Chinese; yes you are right this game is a mix of the Chinese game pai-gow and our very own US poker. Definitely this is not 1 of the most popular styles of poker but still it’s widely bet. It can be wagered by up to seven players.
It’s bet with 1 deck of fifty two cards, plus a joker. Strangely enough, the joker can be used only as an ace, to complete a straight, a flush, a straight flush, or a royal flush. The critical element here to remember is aside from the usual ranking of hands we have 1 more succeeding hand that’s "Five Aces" (five aces which includes the joker). Surprisingly, 5 aces defeat all other hands which includes royal flush.
Each and every player is dealt 7 cards. The cards are set up to form 2 hands; a 2 card hand and a five card hand. The five card hand must rank greater or be equal to the 2 card hand. Lastly both of your hands have to rank greater than each of your oppositions hands (both five and 2 card hands). Further the two card hand can just have 2 combinations; one pair and high card.
Immediately after the cards are organized in to two hands, they’re placed on the table face down. As soon as you lay them down, you may not touch them. The croupier will turn over his cards and make his hands. Each and every players hand is in comparison to the dealer’s hands. If the gambler wins 1 hand and loses the other, this is known as "push" and no money is won or lost. If croupier wins both hands then he/she wins the gamblers stake and the other way around. Now what if there is a tie, the only advantage with the croupier here is he/she is victorious on all ties.
After the hand is played, the next individual clock-wise becomes the dealer and the next hand is played. The big drawback to this game is that there’s no skill involved and you rely too much on good fortune. Also the odds are terrible compared to playing with a pot.
