Let’s learn a various type of poker other than holdem, seven card stud, five card draw and Omaha Holdem. Yes, pai-gow poker. Now you should be wondering that pai gow sounds a little Chinese; yes you’re proper this game is a combination of the Chinese casino game pai gow and our very own Yankee poker. Definitely this isn’t one of the most well-known types of poker but still it is widely wagered. It could be bet by up to seven gamblers.
It’s wagered with one deck of fifty-two cards, plus a joker. Oddly enough, the joker may be used only as an ace, to complete a straight, a flush, a straight flush, or a royal flush. The important thing here to remember is other than the usual ranking of hands we have one more winning hand that is "5 Aces" (5 aces including the joker). Amazingly, 5 aces beat all other hands which includes royal flush.
Every single gambler is dealt 7 cards. The cards are arranged to form two hands; a two card hand and a five card hand. The 5 card hand has to rank higher or be equal to the 2 card hand. Finally each of your hands must rank greater than both of your opponents hands (both 5 and two card hands). Further the 2 card hand can only have two combinations; 1 pair and high card.
Right after the cards are organized in to two hands, they are positioned on the table face down. As soon as you place them down, you can not touch them. The croupier will flip over their cards and make his hands. Each players hand is in comparison 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 croupier wins equally hands then they wins the gamblers wager and the other way around. Now what if there is certainly a tie, the only advantage with the dealer here is he/she is victorious on all ties.
Right after the hand is wagered, the following individual clock-wise becomes the dealer and the subsequent hand is bet. The big downside to this game is that there’s no ability involved and you depend too much on fortune. Also the odds are inadequate compared to betting with a pot.
