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 each hand, and the dealer gets to choose his game. My favorite? A game called "Texas Push".

The Idea of the game is To make 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 option of maintaining the card, or passing it to another player. If the player keeps the card, then the next player receives an up card along with the exact same option. If the player passes the card, then the next player then additionally has the exact same choice and so forth through the players. In each case, there is a cost to passing a card. After a player retains a card, another previous players are "filled in", they get a card that they don't have any choice but to keep. This process continues, with betting on every completed round, until each of the players have 5 cards in total. After all of the players have 5 cards (along with the betting is completed), the players are then asked to "declare". A coin in their hand means they're announcing for the "large" hand, without a coin means the "low" hand. The lowest and highest hand for each declaration divide the total pot.

The strategy of this game Is to use the capability to pass cards to build either a high or low hand. Poker players will know what the high hands would be - normally three of a sort, 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 match (a flush or straight can't be used as a low hand).

It's a fun, tactical game That is always a hit at our weekly poker game. More [http://pokerdee101.hatenablog.com/ relevant site].
