Pai Gow Poker Established Rules
Let us discover some different forms of poker other than Texas holdem, seven card stud, 5 card draw and omaha hi-low. Yes, double-hand poker. Now you might be wondering that double-hand sounds a little Chinese; well you are right, this casino game is a blending of the Chinese game pai gow and our very own us poker
Certainly this isn’t one of the highly popular forms of poker but still widely played. It can be played by up to 7 players. It is played with one deck of cards, with a joker. Interestingly, joker can be used only as an ace, or to finish off a straight, flush, a straight flush, or a royal flush. The essential detail here to always remember is other than the normal ranking of hands we have one more winning hand which is "Five Aces" (4 Aces and the Joker). Surprisingly, five aces defeats all other hand yes, even a royal flush. Every gambler is dealt seven cards. The cards are arranged to create two hands; a two card hand and a 5 card hand. The five card hand has to be stronger or be equivalent to the two card hand.
After arranging the 2 hands, the cards are laid on the poker table face down. Once on the table, you can’t touch them. The dealer will turn over his cards and assemble his hands. Each players hand is played against the dealer’s hands. Should the player wins 1 hand and lose the other, this is referred to as "push" and absolutely no cash is lost or won. If dealer wins both hands then the gambler looses their wager the opposite is correct if the player wins both hands. Now if there is a draw, the croupier wins everything. After the hand is played, the next person clock-wise gets to be the croupier and the next hand is dealt.
