I'm a member of a regular Friday night poker game, and as with the majority of friendly games, the dealer rotates from player to player for each hand, and the dealer gets to select his game. My favorite? A game called "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) at which the maximum 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 maintaining the card, or passing it to another player. If the player keeps the card, then the next player receives an up card and the exact same option. If the player passes the card, then the next player then also has the same choice and so on throughout the players. In every case, there's a charge to passing a card. After a player keeps a card, the other preceding players ' are "filled in", they get a card that they don't have any choice but to keep. This procedure continues, with betting on every completed round, until all 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 hands means they are declaring for the "high" hand, and no coin usually means the "low" hand. The lowest and highest hand for every declaration divide the total pot.

The strategy of this game Is to utilize the capability to pass cards to build 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 will be a winning hands. For the low hand, the ultimate will be 6, 4, 3, 2, Ace where they're not in suit (a flush or straight can't be used as a low hand).

It is a fun, strategic game That is always a hit at our weekly poker game. As seen on [http://pokerdee201.wordpress.com/ Read Much more].
