I am a member of a regular Friday night poker game, and as with most friendly games, the dealer rotates from player 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) where the highest hand and the lowest (worst) hand split the pot.

The game begins with each Player getting one down 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, the next player receives an up card along with the exact same alternative. If the player passes the card, the next player then also has the same choice and so on through the players. In every case, there's a cost to passing a card. After a player keeps a card, another preceding players are "filled in", they get a card that they have no option but 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 (and the betting is finished), the players are then requested to "declare". A coin in their hand means they're declaring for the "high" hand, and no coin means the "low" hand. The highest and lowest hand for each declaration divide the entire pot.

The strategy of this game Is to use the ability to pass cards to develop either a high or low hand. Poker players will know what the top hands would be - typically three of a sort, a straight, or a flush will be a winning hands. For the low hand, the ultimate would be 6, 4, 3, 2, Ace where they're not in match (a flush or straight cannot be used as a low hand).

It's a fun, tactical game That is always a hit at our weekly poker game. More: [http://pokerdee201.wordpress.com/ Going Here].
