Now let us learn some different kinds of poker other than Texas holdem, seven card stud, five card draw and omaha high. Yes, double-hand poker. Now you might be wondering that double-hand sounds a little Chinese; well you’re correct, this casino game is a mixture of the Chinese game pai gow and poker
Definitely this isn’t one of the highly acclaimed forms of poker but still broadly played. It can be played by up to 7 players. It is played with one deck of cards, including a joker. Interestingly, the Joker can only be used as an ace, or to complete a straight, a flush, a straight flush, or royal flush. The important element here to remember is apart from the customary ranking of hands we have one more winning hand that is "Five Aces" (four Aces and the Joker). Surprisingly, 5 aces is greater than all other hand yes, even a royal flush. Every player is dealt seven cards. These cards are aligned to make two hands; a two card hand and a 5 card hand. The five card hand has to be stronger or be equal to the two card hand.
After setting up the two hands, the cards are positioned on the poker table face down. Once down, you can no longer change them. The croupier will turn over their cards and arrange his hands. Every competitors hand is compared to the croupier’s hands. Should the player wins 1 hand and loses the other, this is referred to as "push" and absolutely no cash is lost or won. If dealer wins the two hands then the player 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. After the hand is played, the very next player clock-wise becomes the croupier and the next hand is given out.
