I'm a member of a regular Friday night poker game, and as with the majority of friendly games, the dealer moves from participant to player for every hand, and the dealer gets to select his game. My favorite? A game known as "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 choice of keeping 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 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. Once a player retains a card, the other preceding players ' are "filled in", they receive a card that they have no choice except to keep. This process continues, with gambling on each finished round, until each of the players have 5 cards in total. Once all the players have 5 cards (and the gambling is finished), the players are then asked to "declare". A coin in their hand means they're announcing for the "high" hand, and no coin means that the "low" hand. The lowest and highest hand for each declaration split the total pot.

The plan of the game Is to use the capability to pass cards to develop either a low or high hand. Poker players will know what the high hands would be - normally three of a sort, a straight, or a flush will be a winning hand. For the low hand, the ultimate would be 6, 4, 3, 2, Ace where they are not in match (a flush or straight cannot be utilized as a low hand).

It's a fun, strategic game That is always a hit at our weekly poker game. More at [http://pokerdee201.page.tl/ Recommended Reading].
