I am a member of a regular Friday night poker game, and as with the majority of friendly games, the dealer rotates from player to player for each hand, and the dealer gets to select his game. My favorite? A game called "Texas Push".

The concept of the game is To create a five card hands (one down card and four up cards, similar to five card stud) where the maximum 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 keeping the card, or passing it to the next player. If the player keeps the card, the next player gets an up card along with the exact same option. If the player passes the card, the next player then also has the same choice and so on throughout the players. In every case, there is a charge to passing a card. After a player retains a card, the other previous players ' are "filled in", they receive a card that they have no option except to keep. This process continues, with betting on each completed round, until each of the players have 5 cards in total. Once all the players have 5 cards (along with the gambling is completed), the players are then asked to "declare". A coin in their hands means they're announcing for the "high" hand, and no coin means that the "low" hand. The highest and lowest hand for every declaration split the entire pot.

The strategy of the game Is to utilize the ability to pass cards to develop either a low or high hand. Poker players will know what the top hands would be - typically three of a sort, a straight, or a flush is going to be a winning hand. For the low hand, the ultimate would be 6, 4, 3, 2, Ace where they're not in suit (a flush or straight can't be utilized as a low hand).

It's a fun, strategic game That's always a hit at our weekly poker game. See more at: [http://pokerdee201.wordpress.com/ Get the facts].
