Amateurs Strategy for Pai Gow Poker
Sunday, 23. October 2022
Double-hand Poker is a modern game with old ancestry. Founded on the ancient Chinese domino game and the current American variation of poker, Pai Gow poker bands together the far east with the west in an awesome game for starting gamblers.
Pai Gow is a poker game that puts the player against the croupier, not like nearly all other poker games that gamblers compete with other gamblers. By gambling against the dealer, new players do not have to worry about other, more skillful people winning their cash.
An additional Pai Gow benefit is the relatively slow game pace, newcomers can take their time and plan without having to make quick choices.
It’s also easier to wager on for an extended time with only a little bit of cash since, to not win, each of your hands has to be lower than both of the dealer’s hands.
Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the familiar 52-card standard deck and a single joker. The player is dealt 7 cards faces showing and the croupier is given seven cards faces hidden.
A five card hand and a 2 card hand must be put together from the 7 cards, the 5 card hand must be higher than the 2 card hand. To succeed, a player is required to have both of his hand values to be higher than the houses.
