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

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

The game starts with each Player getting down one card. The first player then receives an up card. The player has the option of keeping the card, or passing it to another player. If the player keeps the card, the next player gets an up card along with the same alternative. If the player passes the card, the next player then also has the exact same choice and so on through the players. In each case, there is a cost to passing a card. Once a player keeps a card, the other preceding players are "filled in", they get a card that they don't have any option except to keep. This process continues, with betting on every completed 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 are declaring for the "large" hand, without a coin usually means that the "low" hand. The lowest and highest hand for every declaration divide the entire pot.

The plan of this game Is to use the capability to pass cards to build either a high or low hand. Poker players will know what the top hands will be - normally three of a kind, a straight, or a flush is going to be a winning hand. For the low hand, the ultimate would be 6, 4, 3, 2, Ace where they're not in match (a flush or straight can't be used as a low hand).

It is a fun, tactical game That's always a hit at our weekly poker game. Like [http://pokerdee.joomla.com/ Additional Info].
