Now let’s learn some alternate kinds of poker other than hold’em, five card stud, 5 card draw and omaha/8. Yes, pai gow poker. Now you must be thinking that pai gow sounds a little Chinese; yes you are correct, this casino game is a blending of the Chinese game pai gow and our very own us poker
Definitely this isn’t one of the most acclaimed styles of poker but still widely played. It can be played by up to seven players. It is played with one deck of cards, including a joker. Interestingly, joker can be used only as an ace, or to complete a straight, a flush, straight flush, or a royal flush. The essential thing here to clearly recall is aside from the customary ranking of hands we have an additional winning hand that is "Five Aces" (4 Aces and the Joker). Astonishingly, 5 aces is greater than every other hand yes, even a royal flush. Every gambler is dealt seven cards. The cards are arranged to create 2 hands; a two card hand and a 5 card hand. The five card hand has to rank higher or be equal to the two card hand.
After arranging the 2 hands, the cards are placed on the poker table face down. Once on the table, you are no longer allowed to change them. The croupier will flip over his cards and arrange their hands. Every players hand is played against the dealer’s hands. If the player take one hand and lose the other, this is called a "push" and no cash is exchanged. If dealer wins both hands then the bettor looses their wager and vice versa. Now if there is a draw, the croupier wins everything. Once the hand is played, the very next person clock-wise gets to be the croupier and the next hand is dealt.
