Novice Strategy for Pai Gow Poker

February 13th, 2016 Leave a comment Go to comments

Double-hand Poker is a cutting-edge game with old origins. Based on the old Chinese tile game and the modern American variation of poker, Pai Gow poker joins the eastern with the west in an awesome game for beginner level players.

Pai Gow is a poker game that puts the player vs. the dealer, not like almost all other poker games that players wager with other players. By playing against the dealer, new players do not have to be concerned about any other, more skillful people winning their money.

A further Pai Gow benefit is the relatively leisurely game play, rookies will be able to take their time and strategize without needing to make hasty choices.

It’s also easier to enjoy for a long time with only a small amount of cash seeing as, to not win, each of your hands has to be lower than both of the casino’s hands.

Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the regular 52-card basic deck and a single joker. The player is given 7 cards faces showing and the casino is dealt 7 cards faces hidden.

A five card hand and one 2 card hand have to be put together from the 7 cards dealt, the 5 card hand must be higher than the 2 card hand. To succeed, a player needs both of his hand totals to be larger than the dealer’s.
