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 select his game. My favorite? A game called "Texas Push".

The Idea 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 begins with each Player getting down one 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, then the next player gets an up card along with the exact same alternative. If the player passes the card, then the next player then also has the exact same choice and so on through the players. In each case, there's 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 option except to keep. This process continues, with gambling on every completed round, until each of the players have 5 cards in total. Once all of the players have 5 cards (along with the betting is completed), the players are then requested to "declare". A coin in their hands means they are announcing for the "high" hand, and no coin means the "low" hand. The lowest and highest hand for each declaration split the total pot.

The plan of this game Is to use the capability to pass cards to build either a high or low hand. Poker players will be aware of what the top hands will be - normally three of a sort, a straight, or a flush will be a winning hands. For the low hand, the ultimate would be 6, 4, 3, 2, Ace in which they're not in match (a flush or straight can't be used as a low hand).

It's a fun, tactical game That's always a hit at our weekly poker game. Take a look at [http://pokerdee.joomla.com/ go to my blog].
