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

The concept 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 begins with each Player getting down one card. The first player then receives an up card. The player has the choice 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 alternative. If the player passes the card, the next player then additionally 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 have no option except to keep. This procedure continues, with gambling on each finished round, until each of the players have 5 cards in total. After all of the players have 5 cards (and the gambling is finished), the players are then asked to "declare". A coin in their hand means they are declaring for the "large" hand, without a coin usually means the "low" hand. The lowest and highest hand for each declaration divide the entire pot.

The strategy of this 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 high hands would be - typically three of a kind, a straight, or a flush is going to be a winning hands. For the low hand, the ultimate would be 6, 4, 3, 2, Ace where they are not in suit (a flush or straight can't be utilized as a low hand).

It's a fun, strategic game That is always a hit at our weekly poker game. As seen on [https://pokerdee101.tumblr.com/ click the next post].
