I'm a member of a regular Friday night poker game, and just like most friendly games, the dealer rotates from player to player for each 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 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 one down card. The first player then receives an up card. The player has the choice of maintaining the card, or passing it to the next player. If the player keeps the card, the next player receives an up card along with the exact same option. If the player passes the card, the next player then also has the exact same choice and so on through the players. In each case, there is a charge to passing a card. After a player keeps a card, another previous players are "filled in", they receive a card that they don't have any option but to keep. This process continues, with gambling on every completed round, until all of the players have 5 cards in total. After all the players have 5 cards (along with the betting is completed), the players are then requested to "declare". A coin in their hand means they're announcing for the "high" hand, without a coin means that the "low" hand. The highest and lowest hand for each declaration divide the entire pot.

The plan of this game Is to use the capability to pass cards to develop either a low or high hand. Poker players will know what the high hands will be - normally three of a kind, a straight, or a flush will be a winning hand. For the low hand, the ultimate would be 6, 4, 3, 2, Ace where they're not in suit (a flush or straight cannot be utilized as a low hand).

It's a fun, strategic game That's always a hit at our weekly poker game. More: [http://pokerdee.joomla.com/ official site].
