Now let’s learn some different forms of poker other than hold’em, 5 card stud, five card draw and omaha hi-low. Yes, double-hand poker. Now you must be thinking that pai gow sounds a little Chinese; yes you are correct, this casino game is a mixture of the Chinese game pai gow and poker
Certainly this is not one of the highly acclaimed types of poker but still commonly played. It can be played by up to 7 players. It’s played with one deck of 52 cards, plus a joker. Interestingly, the Joker can only be used as an ace, or to finish off a straight, a flush, a straight flush, or royal flush. The important thing here to bear in mind is aside from the customary ranking of hands we have one more winning hand which is "Five Aces" (five aces including the joker). Astonishingly, five aces beats all other hand yes, even a royal flush. Every gambler is given seven cards. The cards are aligned to create two hands; a two card hand and a five card hand. The five card hand must rank higher or be equal to the two card hand.
After arranging the two hands, the cards are laid on the poker table face down. Once on the table, you are no longer allowed to touch them. The croupier will flip over their cards and arrange his hands. Every players hand is compared to the croupier’s hands. If the player wins 1 hand and lose the other, this is known as "push" and no money is exchanged. If dealer wins the two hands then the bettor gives up their bet the opposite is correct if the player wins both hands. Now if the hand is a tie, the dealer wins everything. After the hand is played, the next player clock-wise becomes the croupier and the next hand is given out.
