Novice Strategy for Pai Gow Poker

by Mayra on Feb.01, 2016, under Poker

Double-hand Poker is a modern game with old ancestry. Based on the old Chinese tile game and the current American adaptation of poker, Pai Gow poker marries the eastern with the western in a fantastic game for new gamblers.

Pai Gow is a poker game that puts the gambler versus the dealer, unlike nearly all other poker games that gamblers play against other gamblers. By playing against the dealer, new players do not have to be concerned about other, more experienced individuals taking their cash.

Another Pai Gow edge is the fairly slow game play, novices will be able to take their time and strategize without having to make quick selections.

It’s also much simpler to wager on for a long time with only a tiny amount of money since, to not win, each of your hands has to be under both of the houses hands.

Pai Gow is played with 53 cards; the customary 52-card standard deck and one joker. The gambler is assigned seven cards face up and the house gets seven cards face down.

One five card hand and one two card hand need to be made from the 7 cards dealt, the 5 card hand has to be higher than the 2 card hand. To win, a player needs both of his hand values to be higher than the casino’s.
