I am a member of a regular Friday night poker game, and just like most friendly games, the dealer moves from participant to player for every hand, and the dealer gets to select his game. My favorite? A game known as "Texas Push".

The concept of the game is To make a five card hand (one down card and four up cards, similar to five card stud) where the highest 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 choice of keeping the card, or passing it to another player. If the player keeps the card, the next player receives an up card along with the exact same option. If the player passes the card, then the next player then also has the exact same choice and so forth through the players. In each case, there's a charge to passing a card. After a player keeps a card, another preceding players are "filled in", they receive a card that they have no option but to keep. This process continues, with betting on each completed round, until all of the players have 5 cards in total. After all the players have 5 cards (and the gambling is finished), the players are then asked to "declare". A coin in their hands means they're declaring for the "large" hand, and no coin usually means the "low" hand. The highest and lowest hand for every declaration split the entire pot.

The strategy of this game Is to utilize the ability to pass cards to develop either a high or low hand. Poker players will know what the top hands would be - typically three of a kind, a straight, or a flush will be a winning hands. For the low hand, the ultimate would be 6, 4, 3, 2, Ace in which they're not in match (a flush or straight can't be used as a low hand).

It's a fun, strategic game That's always a hit at our weekly poker game. More information: [http://pokerdee101.blogspot.com/ just click the up coming post].
