Beginners Tactics for Pai Gow Poker
Double-hand Poker is a modern game with ancient origins. Founded on the ancient Chinese domino game and the modern American variation of poker, Pai Gow poker marries the far east with the wild west in an awesome game for early level players.
Pai Gow is a poker game that puts the gambler vs. the casino, unlike most other poker games that gamblers compete with other gamblers. By wagering against the dealer, new players don’t need to fret about other, more skillful gamblers winning their cash.
A further Pai Gow benefit is the fairly slow game pace, rookies are able to take their time and plan without having to make frenzied choices.
It’s also easier to bet on for a long time with just a small bit of money after all, to not win, both of your hands has to be under both of the dealer’s hands.
Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the customary 52-card basic deck and one joker. The player is given seven cards face up and the dealer receives 7 cards faces hidden.
A 5 card hand and a two card hand need to be made from the 7 cards dealt, the five card hand must be higher than the two card hand. To succeed, a player needs both of his hand values to be better than the casino’s.
