I am a member of a regular Friday night poker game, and just like most friendly games, the dealer moves from participant 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 create 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 one down card. The first player then receives an up card. The player has the choice of keeping the card, or passing it to the next player. If the player keeps the card, then the next player receives an up card along with the same alternative. If the player passes the card, the next player then additionally has the same option and so forth through the players. In every case, there is a charge to passing a card. After a player keeps a card, the other preceding players are "filled in", they get a card that they have no choice but to keep. This procedure continues, with betting on every completed round, until all of the players have 5 cards in total. After all the players have 5 cards (and the betting is finished), the players are then requested to "declare". A coin in their hands means they're announcing for the "high" hand, without a coin means the "low" hand. The highest and lowest hand for each declaration divide the total pot.

The strategy of the game Is to utilize the capability to pass cards to build either a low or high hand. Poker players will be aware of what the high hands will be - typically three of a sort, a straight, or a flush is going to be a winning hands. For the low hand, the ultimate would be 6, 4, 3, 2, Ace in which they're not in match (a flush or straight cannot be used as a low hand).

It's a fun, tactical game That's always a hit at our weekly poker game. I.e. [http://pokerdee101.greatwebsitebuilder.com/ Click The Link].
