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

The concept of the game is To create a five card hand (one down card and four up cards, similar to five card stud) at which the highest hand and the lowest (worst) hand split the pot.

The game starts 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, then the next player gets an up card along with the same option. If the player passes the card, the next player then additionally has the same choice and so on throughout the players. In each case, there is a cost to passing a card. After a player retains a card, the other preceding players are "filled in", they get a card that they have no option except to keep. This procedure continues, with betting on each completed round, until all of the players have 5 cards in total. After all of the players have 5 cards (and the betting is finished), the players are then requested to "declare". A coin in their hands means they're announcing for the "high" hand, and no coin usually means that the "low" hand. The lowest and highest hand for every declaration divide the entire pot.

The plan of the game Is to utilize the capability to pass cards to build either a high or low hand. Poker players will know what the high hands will be - typically 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're not in suit (a flush or straight cannot be utilized as a low hand).

It is a fun, strategic game That is always a hit at our weekly poker game. Visit [http://pokerdee201.yolasite.com/ This Site].
