Novice Tactics for Pai Gow Poker

[ English ]

Double-hand Poker is a current game with ancient origins. Founded on the old Chinese domino game and the modern American version of poker, Pai Gow poker marries the far east with the west in a fantastic game for beginner level gamblers.

Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the gambler vs. the dealer, not like the majority of other poker games that players compete against other players. By betting against the dealer, beginning players don’t need to worry about other, more experienced people winning their mulla.

One more Pai Gow advantage is the generally slow game pace, beginners will be able to take their time and plan without needing to make quick decisions.

It’s also much simpler to participate in for a long time with just a little bit of cash since, to lose, each of your hands needs to be under each of the casino’s hands.

Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the customary 52-card basic deck and a single joker. The player is assigned seven cards faces showing and the casino receives seven cards face down.

One five card hand and a two card hand must be put together from the seven cards dealt, the 5 card hand has to be better than the 2 card hand. To succeed, a player needs both of his hand totals to be better than the dealer’s.
