Double-hand Poker Game Rules
Now let’s discover some alternate kinds of poker other than holdem, 7 card stud, five card draw and omaha high. Yes, double-hand poker. Now you might be wondering that double-hand sounds a little Chinese; yes you are right, this card game is a blending of the Chinese game pai gow and poker
Definitely this is not one of the highly popular types of poker but still broadly played. It can be played by up to 7 players. It is played with one deck of 52 cards, plus a joker. Interestingly, the Joker can be used only as an ace, or to finish off a straight, a flush, straight flush, or a royal flush. The critical element here to remember is aside from the usual ranking of hands we’ve an additional winning hand which is "Five Aces" (five aces including the joker). Surprisingly, 5 aces is greater than all other hand yes, even a royal flush. Every gambler is given 7 cards. These cards are arranged to create two hands; a two card hand and a five card hand. The five card hand must be stronger or be equivalent to the two card hand.
After arranging the two hands, the cards are laid on the table with the faces down. Once down, you can’t touch them. The dealer will flip over their cards and arrange their hands. Each players hand is compared to the dealer’s hands. Should the player wins 1 hand and lose the other, this is called a "push" and no cash is lost or won. If croupier wins the two hands then the player looses their wager the opposite is correct if the player wins both hands. Now if the hand is a tie, the croupier wins all. Once the hand is competed, the very next person clock-wise becomes the dealer and the following hand is dealt.
