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

The Idea of the game is To make 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 choice 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 additionally has the same option and so on through the players. In each case, there's a charge to passing a card. Once a player retains a card, the other preceding players are "filled in", they receive a card that they have no choice except to keep. This process continues, with betting on each completed round, until each of the players have 5 cards in total. Once all the players have 5 cards (along with the gambling is completed), the players are then asked to "declare". A coin in their hand means they are declaring for the "high" hand, without a coin means that the "low" hand. The highest and lowest hand for each declaration divide the entire pot.

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

It's a fun, tactical game That's always a hit at our weekly poker game. More on our site [http://pokerdee101.blogspot.com/ world star of poker].
