I am 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 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) at which the maximum 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 keeping the card, or passing it to the next 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, the next player then additionally has the same choice and so forth throughout the players. In every case, there is a cost to passing a card. Once a player keeps a card, the other preceding players are "filled in", they receive a card that they have no choice except to keep. This procedure continues, with betting on each completed round, until all of the players have 5 cards in total. After all the players have 5 cards (and the betting is completed), the players are then requested to "declare". A coin in their hand means they are announcing for the "high" hand, without a coin usually means that the "low" hand. The highest and lowest hand for every declaration split the entire pot.

The plan of this game Is to utilize the ability to pass cards to develop either a high or low 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 where they're not in suit (a flush or straight cannot be used as a low hand).

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