Amateurs Strategy for Pai Gow Poker


Double-hand Poker is a current game with ancient ancestry. Built on the old Chinese domino game and the current American variation of poker, Pai Gow poker combines the eastern with the western in a wonderful game for beginner level players.

Pai Gow is a poker game that puts the player versus the house, unlike the majority of other poker games that gamblers play against other gamblers. By competing against the dealer, new players do not have to be concerned about other, more skillful gamblers winning their cash.

An additional Pai Gow benefit is the fairly leisurely game play, newcomers should be able to take their time and strategize while not needing to make frenzied choices.

It’s also much simpler to play for a very long time with just a small bit of money since, to lose, both of your hands must be lower than each of the dealer’s hands.

Pai Gow is played with 53 cards; the normal 52-card common deck and a single joker. The player is assigned seven cards faces showing and the casino receives 7 cards faces hidden.

One 5 card hand and a 2 card hand need to be put together from the seven cards, the 5 card hand must be stronger than the 2 card hand. To win, a player is required to have both of his hand totals to be larger than the dealer’s.
