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 every hand, and the dealer gets to choose his game. My favorite? A game called "Texas Push".

The concept of the game is To make a five card hands (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 begins 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 receives an up card along with the same option. If the player passes the card, then the next player then additionally has the same choice and so forth throughout the players. In each case, there is a cost to passing a card. After a player keeps a card, the other preceding players ' are "filled in", they receive a card that they don't have any choice except to keep. This procedure continues, with betting on each finished round, until each of the players have 5 cards in total. Once all the players have 5 cards (along with the betting is completed), the players are then requested to "declare". A coin in their hands means they are declaring for the "large" hand, without a coin usually means the "low" hand. The highest and lowest hand for every declaration divide the entire pot.

The strategy of the 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 would be - typically three of a kind, 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 match (a flush or straight can't be utilized as a low hand).

It's a fun, tactical game That is always a hit at our weekly poker game. Take a look at [http://pokerdee201.wordpress.com/ rules of poker].
