I'm a member of a regular Friday night poker game, and as with 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 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 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 gets an up card and the exact 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's a charge to passing a card. After a player keeps a card, the other previous players ' are "filled in", they receive a card that they don't have any option except to keep. This process continues, with gambling on each completed round, until each 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 hands means they're announcing for the "large" hand, without a coin usually means the "low" hand. The lowest and highest hand for each declaration divide 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 - normally 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 suit (a flush or straight cannot be utilized as a low hand).

It's a fun, strategic game That is always a hit at our weekly poker game. More: [http://pokerdee201.yolasite.com/ Get the facts].
