Double-Hand Poker Rules
Let’s learn a distinct sort of poker other than Texas holdem, 5 card stud, five card draw and Omaha Hold’em. Yes, pai-gow poker. Now you should be wondering that pai gow sounds a little Chinese; yes you are right this game is really a blend of the Chinese game double-hand and our very own American poker. Definitely this is not 1 of the most well-known forms of poker but still it’s widely wagered. It can be wagered by up to 7 players.
It is played with 1 deck of 52 cards, including a joker. Oddly enough, the joker can be utilized only as an ace, to complete a straight, a flush, a straight flush, or a royal flush. The important element here to remember is other than the usual rating of hands we have 1 more succeeding hand which is "Five Aces" (five aces which includes the joker). Remarkably, 5 aces defeat all other hands including royal flush.
Every player is dealt seven cards. The cards are organized to make 2 hands; a 2 card hand and a five card hand. The five card hand must rank higher or be equal to the 2 card hand. Finally both of your hands need to rank higher than each of your opponents hands (each five and two card hands). Further the 2 card hand can only have two combinations; one pair and high card.
Right after the cards are set up in to two hands, they are positioned on the table face down. As soon as you put them down, you can not handle them. The dealer will turn over their cards and make their hands. Each gamblers 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 won or lost. If croupier wins each hands then he/she wins the gamblers wager and the opposite 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 croupier and the subsequent hand is played. The main disadvantage to this game is that there is no talent required and you depend too much on luck. Also the chances are weak in comparison to wagering with a pot.
