Let us learn a several kind of poker other than holdem, seven card stud, 5 card draw and Omaha. Yes, pai-gow poker. Now you must be wondering that pai-gow sounds a bit Chinese; yes you’re appropriate this game is really a blend of the Chinese casino game pai-gow and our very own Yankee poker. Definitely this is not one of the most popular styles of poker but still it’s widely played. It may be played by up to 7 players.
It’s wagered with one deck of fifty-two cards, plus a joker. Interestingly, the joker can be utilized only as an ace, to complete a straight, a flush, a straight flush, or a royal flush. The important thing here to keep in mind is aside from the normal ranking of hands we have 1 more winning hand which is "5 Aces" (five aces such as the joker). Amazingly, 5 aces beat all other hands which includes royal flush.
Each and every gambler is dealt seven cards. The cards are arranged to form two hands; a two card hand and a 5 card hand. The 5 card hand must rank greater or be equal to the two card hand. Lastly both of your hands need to rank greater than each of your competitors hands (each 5 and two card hands). Additionally the 2 card hand can merely have two combinations; 1 pair and high card.
After the cards are arranged in to 2 hands, they’re placed on the table face down. Once you put them down, you may not touch them. The dealer will turn over his cards and make their hands. Every gamblers hand is compared 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 vice versa. Now what if there is a tie, the only benefit with the dealer here is he/she is victorious on all ties.
Following the hand is bet, the next individual clock-wise becomes the croupier and the subsequent hand is wagered. The big drawback to this game is that there is no talent required and you depend too much on good fortune. Also the chances are terrible in comparison to wagering with a pot.
