Double-Hand Poker Game Rules
Let us learn a different type of poker other than Texas hold’em, 5 card stud, five card draw and Omaha Holdem. Yes, double-hand poker. Now you should be wondering that pai-gow sounds a little Chinese; yes you are proper this game is a mix of the Chinese game double-hand and our very own American poker. Certainly this is not one of the most popular types of poker but still it’s widely wagered. It might be played by up to seven gamblers.
It is bet with 1 deck of fifty-two cards, plus a joker. Curiously, the joker may be used only as an ace, to finish a straight, a flush, a straight flush, or a royal flush. The significant element here to keep in mind is aside from the normal ranking of hands we have 1 more succeeding hand which is "5 Aces" (five aces such as the joker). Remarkably, five aces defeat all other hands including royal flush.
Each and every player is dealt 7 cards. The cards are arranged to make 2 hands; a 2 card hand and a 5 card hand. The five card hand has to rank greater or be equal to the 2 card hand. Finally both of your hands need to rank higher than both of your competitors hands (each 5 and 2 card hands). Additionally the 2 card hand can just have 2 combinations; one pair and high card.
Right after the cards are set up in to two hands, they’re placed on the table face down. As soon as you lay them down, you may not touch them. The croupier will turn over his cards and make his hands. Every gamblers hand is in comparison to the croupier’s hands. If the player is victorious on one hand and manages to lose the other, this is recognized as "push" and no money is won or lost. If croupier wins equally hands then they wins the gamblers wager and the other way round. Now what if there is a tie, the only advantage with the croupier here is he/she is victorious on all ties.
Following the hand is bet, the following individual clock-wise becomes the croupier and the following hand is bet. The main disadvantage to this game is that there is no ability involved and you rely too much on luck. Also the odds are negative in comparison to wagering with a pot.
