Double-Hand Poker Game Rules

by Mayra on May.10, 2010, under Poker

Let us learn a various sort of poker other than holdem, 7 card stud, 5 card draw and Omaha. Yes, pai gow poker. Now you ought to be wondering that pai gow sounds a bit Chinese; yes you’re proper this casino game is really a combination of the Chinese game double-hand and our very own Yankee poker. Certainly this is not one of the most popular forms of poker but still it’s widely played. It might be bet by up to 7 gamblers.

It is bet with 1 deck of fifty two cards, including 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 bear in mind is apart from the normal rating of hands we have 1 more succeeding hand that is "Five Aces" (5 aces including the joker). Surprisingly, five aces defeat all other hands including royal flush.

Each player is dealt 7 cards. The cards are arranged to make two hands; a 2 card hand and a five card hand. The 5 card hand must rank greater or be equal to the two card hand. Finally both of your hands must rank greater than each of your opponents hands (each 5 and two card hands). Additionally the two card hand can merely have two combinations; 1 pair and high card.

After the cards are set up in to 2 hands, they are positioned on the table face down. As soon as you place them down, you may no longer handle them. The dealer will turn over their cards and make his hands. Every single players hand is in comparison to the croupier’s hands. If the player wins 1 hand and manages to lose the other, this is known as "push" and no money is won or lost. If dealer wins equally hands then he/she captures the gamblers stake and vice versa. Now what if there is a tie, the only advantage with the croupier here is they is victorious on all ties.

Following the hand is wagered, the next individual clock-wise becomes the dealer and the subsequent hand is played. The main downside to this casino game is that there is certainly no talent required and you depend too much on good fortune. Also the odds are bad in comparison to wagering with a pot.
