Let’s become versed in some different kinds of poker other than texas hold’em, seven card stud, five card draw and omaha hold’em. Yes, pai gow poker. Now you might be wondering that double-hand sounds a bit Chinese; yes you are correct, this card game is a mixture of the Chinese game pai gow and poker
Certainly this is not one of the highly popular forms of poker but still broadly played. It can be enjoyed by up to seven players. It’s played with 1 deck of cards, with a joker. Interestingly, joker can only be used as an ace, or to complete a straight, a flush, a straight flush, or a royal flush. The essential thing here to bear in mind is other than the usual ranking of hands we have one more winning hand which is "Five Aces" (5 aces including the joker). Surprisingly, five aces beats every other hand including royal flush. Every gambler is given seven cards. The cards are arranged to create 2 hands; a 2 card hand and a 5 card hand. The five card hand has to rank higher or be equivalent to the 2 card hand.
After arranging the 2 hands, the cards are laid on the table face down. Once down, you can’t switch them. The dealer will flip over his cards and make his hands. Each competitors hand is compared to the dealer’s hands. If the player wins one hand and loses the other, this is known as "push" and no money is exchanged. If croupier wins both hands then the individual looses their wager the opposite is correct if the player wins both hands. Now if there is a draw, the dealer wins all. After the hand is played, the next player clock-wise becomes the croupier and the next hand is given out.
