Let’s become versed in some alternate types of poker other than Texas holdem, 5 card stud, 5 card draw and omaha hold’em. Yes, double-hand poker. Now you must 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 our own American poker
Definitely this is not one of the highly popular varieties of poker but still broadly played. It can be enjoyed by up to seven players. It is played with 1 deck of cards, including a joker. Interestingly, joker can be used only as an ace, or to complete a straight, a flush, straight flush, or royal flush. The critical thing here to remember is other than the normal ranking of hands we’ve one more winning hand which is "Five Aces" (five aces including the joker). Surprisingly, 5 aces is greater than every other hand yes, even a royal flush. Every gambler is given 7 cards. These cards are aligned to make 2 hands; a 2 card hand and a 5 card hand. The five card hand must rank higher or be equivalent to the 2 card hand.
After setting up the two hands, the cards are placed on the table with the faces down. Once down, you can’t switch them. The croupier will turn over their cards and assemble his hands. Every competitors hand is compared to the dealer’s hands. If the player wins 1 hand and loses the other, this is known as "push" and absolutely no cash is lost or won. If dealer wins both hands then the gambler looses their wager the opposite is true if the player wins both hands. Now if the hand is a tie, the dealer wins everything. After the hand is competed, the very next person clock-wise becomes the croupier and the following hand is dealt.
