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) at which 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, then the next player gets an up card and the exact same option. If the player passes the card, the next player then additionally has the same option and so on throughout the players. In every 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 except to keep. This process continues, with betting on every finished round, until all of the players have 5 cards in total. Once all of the players have 5 cards (and the gambling is finished), the players are then requested to "declare". A coin in their hands means they're declaring for the "high" hand, without a coin usually means the "low" hand. The highest and lowest hand for each declaration split the entire pot.

The strategy of the game Is to utilize the capability to pass cards to develop 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 hand. For the low hand, the ultimate will be 6, 4, 3, 2, Ace where they are not in match (a flush or straight cannot 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://pokerdee201.wordpress.com/ this website].
