Amateurs Course of Action for Double-Hand Poker
Pai Gow Poker is a modern game with ancient origins. Built on the old Chinese tile game and the current American adaptation of poker, Pai Gow poker marries the eastern with the west in a wonderful game for early level gamblers.
Pai Gow is a poker game that puts the player against the casino, unlike most other poker games that gamblers compete against other gamblers. By wagering against the dealer, new players do not need to worry about any other, more knowledgeable people winning their $$$$.
A further Pai Gow advantage is the fairly slow game play, newcomers are able to take their time and plan without having to make hasty decisions.
It’s also much simpler to play for an extended time with just a tiny amount of money after all, to not win, each of your hands has to be lower than each of the casino’s hands.
Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the normal 52-card common deck and one joker. The player is assigned 7 cards face up and the croupier gets 7 cards faces hidden.
A 5 card hand and one 2 card hand have to be put together from the 7 cards dealt, the 5 card hand must be stronger than the two card hand. To win, a player needs both of his hand values to be higher than the dealer’s.
