I am a member of a regular Friday night poker game, and as with most friendly games, the dealer rotates from player to player for every hand, and the dealer gets to choose his game. My favorite? A game called "Texas Push".

The Idea of the game is To create a five card hands (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 one down 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 and the same option. If the player passes the card, the next player then also has the same option and so on through the players. In every case, there is a cost to passing a card. Once a player retains a card, another preceding players ' are "filled in", they get a card that they don't have any choice but to keep. This procedure continues, with gambling on each finished round, until all of the players have 5 cards in total. After all the players have 5 cards (and the gambling is completed), the players are then requested to "declare". A coin in their hands means they are declaring for the "high" hand, and no coin means that the "low" hand. The highest and lowest hand for each declaration split the entire pot.

The strategy of the game Is to utilize the capability to pass cards to build either a high or low hand. Poker players will be aware of what the high hands would be - typically three of a kind, 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 match (a flush or straight cannot be used as a low hand).

It is a fun, strategic game That's always a hit at our weekly poker game. For more infos visit [http://pokerdee201.wordpress.com/ more helpful hints].
