Let us become versed in some different variations of poker other than texas hold’em, 5 card stud, 5 card draw and omaha hi-low. Yes, double-hand poker. Now you might be wondering that double-hand sounds a bit Chinese; yes you’re correct, this casino game is a blending of the Chinese game pai gow and our very own us poker
Absolutely this is not one of the highly acclaimed forms of poker but still widely played. It can be enjoyed by up to seven players. It is played with one deck of 52 cards, with a joker. Interestingly, the Joker can only be used as an ace, or to finish off a straight, flush, straight flush, or royal flush. The essential thing here to always remember is apart from the normal ranking of hands we have one more winning hand that is "Five Aces" (four Aces and the Joker). Astonishingly, 5 aces beats all other hand yes, even a royal flush. Each player is dealt seven cards. These cards are arranged to create 2 hands; a 2 card hand and a five card hand. The five card hand must be stronger or be equivalent to the two card hand.
After setting up the 2 hands, the cards are laid on the table face down. Once down, you cannot change them. The dealer will turn over their cards and make his hands. Each competitors hand is played against the dealer’s hands. Should the player wins 1 hand and lose the other, this is called a "push" and absolutely no money is lost or won. If dealer wins both hands then the bettor gives up their wager the opposite is correct if the player wins both hands. Now if the hand is a draw, the croupier wins all. Once the hand is played, the next person clock-wise becomes the croupier and the next hand is given out.
