Let’s learn a different kind of poker other than holdem, seven card stud, 5 card draw and Omaha. Yes, pai-gow poker. Now you should be wondering that pai-gow sounds a bit Chinese; yes you’re correct this casino game is a combination of the Chinese casino game pai gow and our very own US poker. Surely this isn’t one of the most well-liked forms of poker but still it’s widely played. It could be wagered by up to seven players.
It’s bet with 1 deck of 52 cards, plus a joker. Strangely enough, the joker can be employed only as an ace, to finish a straight, a flush, a straight flush, or a royal flush. The significant element here to bear in mind is aside from the usual rating of hands we have one more succeeding hand which is "Five Aces" (five aces which includes the joker). Amazingly, five aces beat all other hands which includes royal flush.
Every single player is dealt seven cards. The cards are organized to make 2 hands; a two card hand and a 5 card hand. The five card hand must rank higher or be equal to the two card hand. Finally both of your hands need to rank higher than each of your opponents hands (each five and two card hands). Further the two card hand can just have two combinations; one pair and high card.
Immediately after the cards are organized in to two hands, they are positioned on the table face down. Once you lay them down, you can no longer handle them. The dealer will flip over their cards and make his hands. Every gamblers hand is compared to the dealer’s hands. If the gambler is victorious on 1 hand and loses the other, this is identified as "push" and no money is exchanged. If dealer wins each hands then he/she captures the gamblers wager and the other way round. Now what if there is a tie, the only edge with the croupier here is they wins all ties.
Soon after the hand is played, the following person clock-wise becomes the croupier and the following hand is played. The main disadvantage to this game is that there is no ability involved and you depend too much on fortune. Also the odds are bad in comparison to betting with a pot.
