Let us learn a distinct type of poker other than Texas holdem, 5 card stud, 5 card draw and Omaha. Yes, pai-gow poker. Now you need to be wondering that pai-gow sounds a little Chinese; yes you are correct this game is a mix of the Chinese casino game double-hand and our very own American poker. Surely this is not 1 of the most well-known styles of poker but still it is widely played. It might be played by up to seven players.

It’s bet with 1 deck of 52 cards, including a joker. Interestingly, 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 apart from the normal ranking of hands we have one more winning hand that’s "Five Aces" (five aces including the joker). Amazingly, five aces beat all other hands which includes royal flush.

Each player is dealt seven cards. The cards are organized to form 2 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. Lastly both of your hands need to rank higher than each of your competitors hands (each 5 and 2 card hands). Additionally the two card hand can only have two combinations; one pair and high card.

After the cards are arranged in to two hands, they’re positioned on the table face down. As soon as you lay them down, you can not touch them. The dealer will turn over their cards and make their hands. Every single players hand is in comparison to the dealer’s hands. If the player is victorious on one hand and loses the other, this is recognized as "push" and no money is won or lost. If croupier wins equally hands then he/she captures the gamblers wager and the other way round. Now what if there’s a tie, the only benefit with the croupier here is he/she wins all ties.

Following the hand is wagered, the following person clock-wise becomes the dealer and the following hand is played. The big disadvantage to this casino game is that there is no skill required and you rely too much on good fortune. Also the odds are inadequate in comparison to betting with a pot.
