Let’s learn a distinct sort of poker other than holdem, 5 card stud, five card draw and Omaha. Yes, pai gow poker. Now you have to be wondering that pai-gow sounds a little Chinese; yes you are right this game is a combination of the Chinese casino game pai gow and our very own American poker. Definitely this isn’t 1 of the most well-known styles of poker but still it’s widely wagered. It can be wagered by up to 7 players.

It’s wagered with one deck of fifty-two cards, including a joker. Strangely enough, the joker may be employed only as an ace, to complete a straight, a flush, a straight flush, or a royal flush. The essential element here to remember is apart from the usual ranking of hands we have one more succeeding hand that’s "5 Aces" (5 aces including the joker). Surprisingly, five aces defeat all other hands including royal flush.

Each and every player is dealt seven cards. The cards are set up to form 2 hands; a two card hand and a five card hand. The five card hand has to rank greater or be equal to the two card hand. Lastly both of your hands have to rank higher than both of your competitors hands (each five and two card hands). Further the 2 card hand can only have two combinations; 1 pair and high card.

Immediately after the cards are arranged in to two hands, they are positioned on the table face down. As soon as you put them down, you can not touch them. The dealer will turn over their cards and make their hands. Every single players hand is compared to the croupier’s hands. If the gambler is victorious on one hand and loses the other, this is recognized as "push" and no money is won or lost. If dealer wins each hands then he/she wins the gamblers wager and the opposite way round. Now what if there’s a tie, the only edge with the dealer here is he/she wins all ties.

Following the hand is wagered, the following individual clock-wise becomes the dealer and the following hand is wagered. The big downside to this casino game is that there is certainly no talent involved and you rely too much on luck. Also the odds are terrible compared to betting with a pot.
