Let’s learn a different type of poker other than Texas hold’em, 5 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 are correct this game is really a mix of the Chinese casino game double-hand and our very own US poker. Certainly this isn’t one of the most well-liked forms of poker but still it’s widely bet. It is usually wagered by up to seven gamblers.
It’s bet with one deck of fifty-two cards, including a joker. Oddly enough, the joker can be employed only as an ace, to finish a straight, a flush, a straight flush, or a royal flush. The important thing here to bear in mind is apart from the usual ranking of hands we have 1 more winning hand that is "Five Aces" (5 aces which includes the joker). Surprisingly, 5 aces defeat all other hands which includes royal flush.
Each and every player is dealt seven cards. The cards are arranged to form two hands; a two card hand and a 5 card hand. The five card hand has to rank greater or be equal to the 2 card hand. Lastly each of your hands need to rank higher than each of your competitors hands (each 5 and 2 card hands). Further the two card hand can merely have 2 permutations; 1 pair and high card.
Soon after the cards are set up in to 2 hands, they are positioned on the table face down. Once you put them down, you may not touch them. The dealer will turn over his cards and make his hands. Every players hand is compared to the croupier’s hands. If the player is victorious on 1 hand and loses the other, this is identified as "push" and no money is exchanged. If dealer wins each hands then he/she wins the players wager and the opposite way round. Now what if there’s a tie, the only advantage with the dealer here is he/she is victorious on all ties.
Soon after the hand is wagered, the next person clock-wise becomes the croupier and the subsequent hand is wagered. The main downside to this game is that there is no ability involved and you depend too much on fortune. Also the chances are bad compared to betting with a pot.
