Pai Gow Poker Rules
Let us learn a diverse kind of poker other than Texas hold’em, seven card stud, 5 card draw and Omaha. Yes, double-hand poker. Now you have to be wondering that pai-gow sounds a little Chinese; yes you’re correct this game is a combination of the Chinese game pai gow and our very own US poker. Definitely this isn’t one of the most popular styles of poker but still it’s widely wagered. It could be played by up to seven players.
It is wagered with one deck of fifty-two cards, plus a joker. Strangely enough, the joker can be used only as an ace, to finish a straight, a flush, a straight flush, or a royal flush. The critical thing here to bear in mind is apart from the usual rating of hands we have 1 more succeeding hand which is "5 Aces" (5 aces such as the joker). Remarkably, 5 aces beat all other hands including royal flush.
Every single gambler is dealt 7 cards. The cards are set up to form two hands; a two card hand and a five 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 greater than both of your competitors hands (both 5 and 2 card hands). Additionally the 2 card hand can just have 2 permutations; 1 pair and high card.
Soon after the cards are arranged in to 2 hands, they’re placed 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 his hands. Each and every gamblers hand is compared to the dealer’s hands. If the gambler wins one hand and loses the other, this is recognized as "push" and no money is exchanged. If croupier wins equally hands then he/she captures the players wager and the other way around. Now what if there is a tie, the only edge with the croupier here is he/she is victorious on all ties.
Soon after the hand is wagered, the following individual clock-wise becomes the croupier and the next hand is wagered. The big disadvantage to this casino game is that there’s no skill required and you rely too much on good fortune. Also the odds are poor compared to betting with a pot.
