I'm a member of a regular Friday night poker game, and just like the majority of friendly games, the dealer moves from participant to player for every hand, and the dealer gets to choose 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 starts with each Player getting one down card. The first player then receives an up card. The player has the option 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 option. If the player passes the card, the next player then also has the same choice and so on throughout the players. In each case, there is a cost to passing a card. After a player keeps a card, the other preceding players ' are "filled in", they receive a card that they have no choice but to keep. This process continues, with betting on every finished round, until all of the players have 5 cards in total. After all the players have 5 cards (and the betting is finished), the players are then asked to "declare". A coin in their hand means they are announcing for the "high" hand, and no coin means the "low" hand. The highest and lowest hand for each declaration divide the total pot.

The plan 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 hands. For the low hand, the ultimate would be 6, 4, 3, 2, Ace where they are not in match (a flush or straight can't be used as a low hand).

It is a fun, tactical game That's always a hit at our weekly poker game. Visit our website [http://pokerdee101.blogspot.com/ visit this weblink].
