Now let’s become versed in some different types of poker other than texas hold’em, seven card stud, 5 card draw and omaha high. Yes, double-hand poker. Now you must be thinking that double-hand sounds a little Chinese; yes you’re right, this casino game is a mixture of the Chinese game pai gow and our own us poker Definitely this isn’t one of the most popular forms of poker but still widely played. It can be enjoyed by up to 7 players. It’s played with one deck of cards, with 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 essential thing here to clearly recall is other than the customary ranking of hands we have an additional winning hand which is "Five Aces" (5 aces including the joker). Astonishingly, five aces is greater than all other hand including royal flush. Each gambler is dealt seven cards. These cards are arranged to make two hands; a 2 card hand and a 5 card hand. The 5 card hand must rank higher or be equivalent to the 2 card hand. After arranging the two hands, the cards are placed on the poker table face down. Once down, you cannot change them. The croupier will turn over his cards and arrange his hands. Each competitors hand is compared to the croupier’s hands. If the player wins one hand and loses the other, this is known as "push" and no money is exchanged. If croupier wins the two hands then the player looses their wager and vice versa. Now if the hand is a draw, the dealer wins everything. After the hand is competed, the very next person clock-wise gets to be the dealer and the next hand is given out.
