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

The Idea of the game is To create 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 begins with each Player getting down one card. The first player then receives an up card. The player has the option of maintaining the card, or passing it to another 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 also has the exact same choice and so on throughout the players. In each case, there is a charge to passing a card. After a player keeps a card, the other preceding players are "filled in", they get a card that they have no option but to keep. This procedure continues, with betting on each completed round, until all of the players have 5 cards in total. Once all the players have 5 cards (along with the betting is finished), the players are then requested to "declare". A coin in their hands means they are announcing for the "high" hand, without a coin usually means that the "low" hand. The lowest and highest hand for every declaration divide the total pot.

The plan of this game Is to use the ability to pass cards to build either a low or high hand. Poker players will know what the top 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 utilized as a low hand).

It is a fun, tactical game That's always a hit at our weekly poker game. For more take a look at [http://pokerdee201.wordpress.com/ original site].
