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 each hand, and the dealer gets to select his game. My favorite? A game known as "Texas Push".

The Idea of the game is To make a five card hands (one down card and four up cards, similar to five card stud) at which 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 maintaining 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 option. If the player passes the card, the next player then also has the same choice and so on through the players. In each case, there's a cost to passing a card. After a player keeps a card, another preceding players ' are "filled in", they receive a card that they don't have any option but to keep. This procedure continues, with betting on each finished round, until all of the players have 5 cards in total. Once all of the players have 5 cards (and the betting is finished), the players are then asked to "declare". A coin in their hands means they're announcing for the "large" hand, and no coin usually means that the "low" hand. The highest and lowest hand for every declaration split the entire pot.

The strategy of the game Is to utilize the ability to pass cards to build either a high or low hand. Poker players will be aware of what the top hands would be - normally three of a sort, a straight, or a flush is going to 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 cannot be used as a low hand).

It is a fun, tactical game That's always a hit at our weekly poker game. More Info: [http://pokerdee201.wordpress.com/ poker online no sign up].
