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 each hand, and the dealer gets to select his game. My favorite? A game known as "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 one down card. The first player then receives an up card. The player has the choice of keeping the card, or passing it to another player. If the player keeps the card, then the next player gets an up card along with the same option. If the player passes the card, then the next player then additionally has the same option and so on throughout the players. In each case, there's a cost to passing a card. Once a player retains a card, the other previous players ' are "filled in", they receive a card that they don't have any choice except to keep. This procedure continues, with betting on every finished round, until all of the players have 5 cards in total. Once all of the players have 5 cards (and the betting is completed), the players are then asked to "declare". A coin in their hand means they're declaring for the "large" hand, without a coin usually means that the "low" hand. The lowest and highest hand for every declaration split the total pot.

The plan of the game Is to utilize the ability to pass cards to build either a high or low hand. Poker players will be aware of what the top hands will 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 where they're not in suit (a flush or straight can't be utilized as a low hand).

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