Let us learn a various type of poker other than holdem, seven card stud, five card draw and Omaha Holdem. Yes, pai-gow poker. Now you must be wondering that pai gow sounds a bit Chinese; yes you’re appropriate this casino game is a mix of the Chinese casino game pai gow and our very own American poker. Surely this is not 1 of the most well-known styles of poker but still it’s widely played. It is usually played by up to 7 players.
It’s bet with one deck of fifty-two cards, including a joker. Strangely enough, the joker may be used only as an ace, to finish a straight, a flush, a straight flush, or a royal flush. The important element here to remember is aside from the normal ranking of hands we have 1 more succeeding hand which is "5 Aces" (5 aces which includes the joker). Remarkably, five aces beat all other hands including royal flush.
Each and every gambler is dealt seven cards. The cards are set up to form 2 hands; a two card hand and a five card hand. The 5 card hand has to rank higher or be equal to the two card hand. Lastly both of your hands must rank greater than each of your opponents hands (each 5 and two card hands). Further the two card hand can merely have 2 combinations; one pair and high card.
Following the cards are organized in to two hands, they’re positioned on the table face down. As soon as you put them down, you can no longer touch them. The croupier will turn over their cards and make their hands. Each players hand is in comparison to the croupier’s hands. If the gambler wins one hand and loses the other, this is known as "push" and no money is exchanged. If croupier wins equally hands then they captures the players stake and the other way round. Now what if there’s a tie, the only edge with the dealer here is he/she wins all ties.
After the hand is played, the following person clock-wise becomes the dealer and the following hand is bet. The main disadvantage to this game is that there’s no talent involved and you rely too much on good fortune. Also the odds are negative compared to playing with a pot.
