I am a member of a regular Friday night poker game, and as with most friendly games, the dealer moves from participant to player for each hand, and the dealer gets to choose his game. My favorite? A game called "Texas Push".

The concept of the game is To create a five card hands (one down card and four up cards, similar to five card stud) where the maximum hand and the lowest (worst) hand split the pot.

The game starts with each Player getting one down card. The first player then receives an up card. The player has the option of keeping the card, or passing it to the next player. If the player keeps the card, then the next player gets an up card and the exact same option. If the player passes the card, then the next player then also has the exact same option and so forth throughout the players. In each case, there's a cost to passing a card. Once a player retains a card, another previous players are "filled in", they receive a card that they don't have any choice except to keep. This process continues, with gambling on every finished round, until all of the players have 5 cards in total. After all of the players have 5 cards (and the gambling is finished), the players are then requested to "declare". A coin in their hand means they're declaring for the "high" hand, and no coin usually means the "low" hand. The highest and lowest hand for each declaration split the entire pot.

The plan of the game Is to utilize the ability to pass cards to develop either a low or high hand. Poker players will be aware of what the high hands would be - typically three of a sort, a straight, or a flush is going to be a winning hand. For the low hand, the ultimate will be 6, 4, 3, 2, Ace where they are not in suit (a flush or straight cannot be utilized as a low hand).

It is a fun, strategic game That is always a hit at our weekly poker game. For example [http://pokerdee101.blogspot.com/ click the next post].
