Novice Tactics for Double-Hand Poker

Double-hand Poker is a modern game with old ancestry. Founded on the ancient Chinese tile game and the current American adaptation of poker, Pai Gow poker combines the east with the wild west in an excellent game for starting players.

Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the player versus the croupier, unlike nearly all other poker games that gamblers bet with other gamblers. By betting against the dealer, new players do not have to worry about other, more knowledgeable players winning their $$$$.

An additional Pai Gow benefit is the fairly slow game play, beginners are able to take their time and strategize without needing to make quick decisions.

It is also much simpler to gamble on for a long time with just a small amount of cash after all, to not win, each of your hands has to be under both of the casino’s hands.

Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the normal 52-card basic deck and a single joker. The player is given seven cards faces showing and the croupier is given seven cards faces hidden.

A 5 card hand and one two card hand need to be put together from the seven cards, the 5 card hand must be better than the 2 card hand. To succeed, a player needs both of his hand values to be higher than the dealer’s.
