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 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 highest hand and the lowest (worst) hand split the pot.

The game begins with each Player getting one down card. The first player then receives an up card. The player has the choice of keeping the card, or passing it to the next player. If the player keeps the card, then the next player receives an up card and the same alternative. If the player passes the card, the next player then additionally has the exact same choice and so on through the players. In every case, there's a cost to passing a card. Once a player retains a card, the other previous players ' are "filled in", they get a card that they have no choice except to keep. This procedure continues, with gambling on each completed round, until all of the players have 5 cards in total. After all the players have 5 cards (and 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 the "low" hand. The lowest and highest hand for every declaration split the entire pot.

The strategy of this game Is to utilize the ability to pass cards to develop either a low or high hand. Poker players will be aware of what the top 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 can't be used as a low hand).

It is a fun, strategic game That's always a hit at our weekly poker game. For more take a look at [http://pokerdee.joomla.com/ theory of poker].
