I'm 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 known as "Texas Push".

The concept of the game is To make 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 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 gets an up card and the exact same option. If the player passes the card, then the next player then also has the exact same choice and so on throughout the players. In every 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 have no choice except to keep. This procedure continues, with gambling on every completed round, until each of the players have 5 cards in total. Once all the players have 5 cards (and the betting is completed), the players are then requested to "declare". A coin in their hands means they're announcing for the "high" hand, without a coin usually means the "low" hand. The highest and lowest hand for every declaration split the total pot.

The strategy of this game Is to utilize the ability to pass cards to build either a low or high hand. Poker players will know what the high hands would be - normally three of a sort, a straight, or a flush will be a winning hand. For the low hand, the ultimate would be 6, 4, 3, 2, Ace in which they are not in match (a flush or straight cannot be utilized as a low hand).

It is a fun, strategic game That is always a hit at our weekly poker game. More [http://pokerdee.joomla.com/ Continued].
