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 each hand, and the dealer gets to choose 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 starts 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, the next player receives an up card along with the exact same alternative. If the player passes the card, then the next player then additionally has the same option and so on throughout the players. In every case, there's a charge to passing a card. Once a player keeps a card, the other previous players ' are "filled in", they get a card that they don't have any option but to keep. This procedure continues, with betting on every completed round, until all of the players have 5 cards in total. After all of the players have 5 cards (and the gambling is completed), the players are then requested to "declare". A coin in their hands means they're announcing for the "large" hand, and no coin means the "low" hand. The lowest and highest hand for every declaration divide the total pot.

The strategy of the game Is to use the ability to pass cards to develop either a high or low hand. Poker players will know what the top hands will be - typically three of a kind, 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 utilized as a low hand).

It's a fun, tactical game That's always a hit at our weekly poker game. As you can see on [http://pokerdee201.yolasite.com/ Full Post].
