Let’s become versed in some different forms of poker other than Texas holdem, five card stud, five card draw and omaha hold’em. Yes, double-hand poker. Now you must be wondering that double-hand sounds a bit Chinese; well you are right, this casino game is a blending of the Chinese game pai gow and our very own us poker
Certainly this isn’t one of the highly popular varieties of poker but still widely played. It can be played by up to 7 players. It’s played with 1 deck of cards, with a joker. Interestingly, the Joker can be used only as an ace, or to finish off a straight, flush, a straight flush, or royal flush. The critical thing here to clearly recall is apart from the typical ranking of hands we have an additional winning hand that is "Five Aces" (5 aces including the joker). Surprisingly, five aces beats every other hand yes, even a royal flush. Each gambler is dealt 7 cards. The cards are arranged to make two hands; a two card hand and a 5 card hand. The 5 card hand must be better or be equivalent to the two card hand.
After arranging the 2 hands, the cards are placed on the poker table face down. Once down, you are no longer allowed to switch them. The croupier will turn over their cards and arrange their hands. Each players hand is played against the croupier’s hands. If the player take one hand and lose the other, this is referred to as "push" and absolutely no cash is exchanged. If dealer wins the two hands then the individual gives up their bet the opposite is correct if the player wins both hands. Now if there is a tie, the croupier wins everything. Once the hand is played, the very next player clock-wise gets to be the dealer and the next hand is given out.
