Beginners Schemes for Pai Gow Poker

Double-hand Poker is a cutting-edge game with ancient origins. Built on the old Chinese tile game and the current American adaptation of poker, Pai Gow poker bands together the far east with the western in a wonderful game for starting gamblers.

Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the player against the casino, not like almost all other poker games that players compete with other players. By playing against the dealer, beginner players don’t have to worry about other, more experienced individuals taking their $$$$.

Another Pai Gow benefit is the fairly leisurely game pace, rookies should be able to take their time and strategize while not needing to make hasty selections.

It’s also easier to bet on for a very long time with just a little amount of cash after all, to not win, each of your hands needs to be under both of the dealer’s hands.

Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the customary 52-card common deck and one joker. The gambler is given seven cards face up and the casino gets seven cards face down.

A five card hand and one two card hand must be put together from the 7 cards, the five card hand must be stronger than the two card hand. To succeed, a player needs both of his hand totals to be better than the casino’s.
