Novice Strategy for Pai Gow Poker
Wednesday, 9. December 2015
Pai Gow Poker is a modern game with ancient origins. Built on the ancient Chinese tile game and the modern American adaptation of poker, Pai Gow poker marries the east with the western in an awesome game for starting players.
Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the gambler against the croupier, not like nearly all other poker games that gamblers compete against other gamblers. By betting against the dealer, beginning players don’t have to be concerned about other, more experienced players taking their mulla.
One more Pai Gow edge is the relatively slow game play, rookies should be able to take their time and plan while not having to make quick decisions.
It’s also much simpler to bet on for a very long time with only a little amount of money seeing as, to not win, both of your hands must be lower than both of the houses hands.
Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the familiar 52-card standard deck and a single joker. The player is dealt seven cards face up and the dealer gets seven cards faces hidden.
One 5 card hand and one 2 card hand need to be put together from the 7 cards, the five card hand has to be stronger than the 2 card hand. To win, a player is required to have both of his hand totals to be larger than the casino’s.
