I'm a member of a regular Friday night poker game, and just like 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 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 maximum 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 choice of keeping the card, or passing it to the next player. If the player keeps the card, the next player receives an up card and the exact same alternative. If the player passes the card, then the next player then additionally has the exact same option and so forth throughout the players. In each case, there is a cost to passing a card. After a player keeps a card, another preceding players are "filled in", they get a card that they don't have any option but to keep. This procedure continues, with gambling on every finished round, until all of the players have 5 cards in total. Once all the players have 5 cards (along with the gambling is finished), the players are then asked to "declare". A coin in their hand means they're declaring for the "high" hand, and no coin usually means that the "low" hand. The lowest and highest hand for every declaration split the entire pot.

The plan 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 - normally three of a sort, a straight, or a flush will be a winning hand. For the low hand, the ultimate will be 6, 4, 3, 2, Ace where they're not in suit (a flush or straight can't be used as a low hand).

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