I'm a member of a regular Friday night poker game, and as with the majority of friendly games, the dealer rotates from player to player for every 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) 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 another player. If the player keeps the card, then the next player gets an up card and the exact same option. If the player passes the card, the next player then also has the exact same option and so forth 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 get a card that they don't have any choice but to keep. This process continues, with betting on each finished round, until each of the players have 5 cards in total. Once all the players have 5 cards (and the gambling is completed), the players are then asked to "declare". A coin in their hand means they are declaring for the "large" hand, and no coin means the "low" hand. The lowest and highest hand for every declaration split the entire pot.

The plan of this game Is to utilize the capability 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 is going to be a winning hands. For the low hand, the ultimate will be 6, 4, 3, 2, Ace where they are not in match (a flush or straight can't be used as a low hand).

It is a fun, tactical game That's always a hit at our weekly poker game. See [http://pokerdee101.greatwebsitebuilder.com/ theory of poker].
