Let us learn a different kind of poker other than holdem, seven card stud, five card draw and Omaha Holdem. Yes, pai gow poker. Now you must be wondering that pai-gow sounds a little Chinese; yes you are proper this casino game is really a combination of the Chinese game pai-gow and our very own US poker. Definitely this isn’t 1 of the most popular styles of poker but still it’s widely bet. It can be wagered by up to 7 players.

It’s bet with 1 deck of fifty two cards, plus a joker. Curiously, the joker can be used only as an ace, to complete a straight, a flush, a straight flush, or a royal flush. The crucial element here to keep in mind is aside from the normal rating of hands we have 1 more winning hand which is "Five Aces" (5 aces including the joker). Remarkably, five aces beat all other hands which includes royal flush.

Every player is dealt seven cards. The cards are organized to form two hands; a two card hand and a 5 card hand. The five card hand has to rank higher or be equal to the 2 card hand. Finally both of your hands need to rank greater than both of your competitors hands (both five and two card hands). Further the two card hand can only have two combinations; one pair and high card.

Following the cards are set up in to two hands, they are placed on the table face down. As soon as you place them down, you can not handle them. The croupier will flip over his cards and make his hands. Every single players hand is compared to the dealer’s hands. If the gambler wins 1 hand and manages to lose the other, this is known as "push" and no money is won or lost. If dealer wins each hands then he/she captures the players stake and the other way around. Now what if there is a tie, the only advantage with the dealer here is he/she is victorious on all ties.

Following the hand is bet, the following individual clock-wise becomes the dealer and the subsequent hand is wagered. The major downside to this game is that there is certainly no skill required and you rely too much on fortune. Also the chances are inadequate in comparison to playing with a pot.
