Let us discover some alternate kinds of poker other than Texas holdem, 5 card stud, five card draw and omaha/8. Yes, double-hand poker. Now you might be thinking that double-hand sounds a bit Chinese; well you are correct, this game is a blending of the Chinese game pai gow and poker
Absolutely this isn’t one of the most popular varieties of poker but still commonly played. It can be played by up to 7 players. It is played with one deck of 52 cards, plus a joker. Interestingly, joker can only be used as an ace, or to complete a straight, a flush, a straight flush, or royal flush. The critical aspect here to clearly recall is other than the typical ranking of hands we’ve one more winning hand which is "Five Aces" (4 Aces and the Joker). Astonishingly, 5 aces is greater than all other hand yes, even a royal flush. Every player is given 7 cards. These cards are aligned to create 2 hands; a 2 card hand and a five card hand. The 5 card hand has to be better or be equivalent to the two card hand.
After arranging the 2 hands, the cards are laid on the table face down. Once down, you cannot switch them. The croupier will turn over their cards and arrange his hands. Each competitors hand is compared to the dealer’s hands. If the player take one hand and loses the other, this is called a "push" and absolutely no money is exchanged. If dealer wins the two hands then the gambler looses their wager the opposite is true if the player wins both hands. Now if there is a tie, the croupier wins all. Once the hand is played, the very next player clock-wise gets to be the dealer and the following hand is given out.
