Double-Hand Poker Rules

Let us learn a various kind of poker other than hold’em, five card stud, five card draw and Omaha Holdem. Yes, pai-gow poker. Now you have to be wondering that pai gow sounds a bit Chinese; yes you are appropriate this game is really a mixture 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 is widely wagered. It may be played by up to seven players.

It is wagered with 1 deck of 52 cards, plus a joker. Strangely enough, the joker may be employed only as an ace, to finish 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 succeeding hand that’s "5 Aces" (5 aces such as the joker). Remarkably, 5 aces beat all other hands which includes royal flush.

Each and every gambler is dealt seven cards. The cards are organized to form two hands; a 2 card hand and a five card hand. The five card hand must rank greater or be equal to the 2 card hand. Lastly both of your hands have to rank greater than both of your oppositions hands (each five and two card hands). Further the two card hand can only have 2 combinations; 1 pair and high card.

After the cards are organized in to two hands, they’re placed on the table face down. As soon as you place them down, you can no longer touch them. The dealer will flip over his cards and make their hands. Every players hand is compared to the croupier’s hands. If the gambler wins one hand and manages to lose the other, this is known as "push" and no money is exchanged. If croupier wins both hands then he/she wins the gamblers stake and the opposite way round. Now what if there is a tie, the only advantage with the croupier here is they wins all ties.

Right after the hand is played, the following person clock-wise becomes the dealer and the subsequent hand is wagered. The big disadvantage to this casino game is that there is no ability required and you depend too much on good fortune. Also the odds are bad compared to betting with a pot.
