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 called "Texas Push".

The concept of the game is To create 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 starts 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, then the next player receives an up card and the same alternative. If the player passes the card, the next player then also has the same option and so forth throughout the players. In every case, there's a charge to passing a card. After a player retains a card, the other preceding players are "filled in", they receive a card that they don't have any option but to keep. This process continues, with gambling on each completed round, until all 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 asked to "declare". A coin in their hands means they're declaring for the "high" hand, and no coin means that the "low" hand. The highest and lowest hand for each declaration divide the total pot.

The strategy of this game Is to utilize the capability to pass cards to develop either a low or high hand. Poker players will know what the high 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 in which they're not in suit (a flush or straight can't be utilized as a low hand).

It is a fun, strategic game That's always a hit at our weekly poker game. More Info: [https://pokerdee101.tumblr.com/ resources].
