Let us learn a various type of poker other than hold’em, 7 card stud, 5 card draw and Omaha Hold’em. Yes, pai-gow poker. Now you must be wondering that pai-gow sounds a little Chinese; yes you are right this casino game is a blend of the Chinese casino game pai-gow and our very own American poker. Surely this isn’t one of the most well-known types of poker but still it is widely played. It is usually played by up to 7 players.
It’s bet with 1 deck of fifty two cards, including a joker. Interestingly, the joker can be used only as an ace, to complete a straight, a flush, a straight flush, or a royal flush. The critical element here to bear in mind is other than the normal ranking of hands we have one more winning hand that’s "Five Aces" (5 aces such as the joker). Amazingly, 5 aces beat all other hands which includes royal flush.
Every player is dealt 7 cards. The cards are organized to make 2 hands; a 2 card hand and a 5 card hand. The 5 card hand has to rank higher or be equal to the two card hand. Lastly both of your hands need to rank higher than both of your oppositions hands (each 5 and two card hands). Further the 2 card hand can just have two combinations; 1 pair and high card.
Following the cards are arranged in to two hands, they are positioned on the table face down. As soon as you lay them down, you can no longer touch them. The croupier will turn over their cards and make their hands. Every gamblers hand is in comparison to the dealer’s hands. If the gambler is victorious on 1 hand and loses the other, this is known as "push" and no money is exchanged. If dealer wins both hands then they wins the gamblers wager and the other way round. Now what if there is certainly a tie, the only benefit with the dealer here is they wins all ties.
Following the hand is played, the following person clock-wise becomes the dealer and the next hand is bet. The big downside to this game is that there’s no skill required and you depend too much on fortune. Also the odds are bad compared to wagering with a pot.
