I'm a member of a regular Friday night poker game, and as with most friendly games, the dealer rotates from player to player for every hand, and the dealer gets to choose his game. My favorite? A game known as "Texas Push".

The concept of the game is To make 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 one down card. The first player then receives an up card. The player has the option of maintaining the card, or passing it to the next player. If the player keeps the card, the next player receives an up card and the same option. If the player passes the card, the next player then also has the exact same option and so forth throughout the players. In each case, there is a cost to passing a card. Once a player retains a card, another preceding players are "filled in", they receive a card that they have no option except to keep. This process continues, with gambling on each finished round, until all of the players have 5 cards in total. Once all the players have 5 cards (along with the betting is finished), the players are then requested to "declare". A coin in their hand means they are announcing for the "high" hand, and no coin means that the "low" hand. The highest and lowest hand for each declaration split the total pot.

The plan of this game Is to utilize the capability to pass cards to build either a low or high hand. Poker players will be aware of what the high hands will be - normally three of a sort, a straight, or a flush will be a winning hands. For the low hand, the ultimate will 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, tactical game That is always a hit at our weekly poker game. More on our site [http://pokerdee201.yolasite.com/ online poker reviews].
