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 every hand, and the dealer gets to select his game. My favorite? A game called "Texas Push".

The Idea of the game is To make a five card hand (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 down one card. The first player then receives an up card. The player has the option of maintaining the card, or passing it to the next player. If the player keeps the card, the next player gets an up card and the same alternative. If the player passes the card, the next player then also has the same choice and so forth throughout the players. In every case, there's a cost to passing a card. After a player keeps a card, another previous players ' are "filled in", they get a card that they don't have any option except to keep. This process continues, with gambling on each finished 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 requested to "declare". A coin in their hand means they're declaring for the "large" hand, and no coin usually means the "low" hand. The lowest and highest hand for every declaration split the total pot.

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

It is a fun, strategic game That's always a hit at our weekly poker game. Visit our website [http://pokerdee201.wordpress.com/ online poker reviews].
