Beginners Strategy for Pai Gow Poker
Double-hand Poker is a modern game with old origins. Built on the old Chinese tile game and the current American variation of poker, Pai Gow poker bands together the eastern with the wild west in an awesome game for beginning level players.
Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the gambler against the croupier, unlike nearly all other poker games that players wager against other gamblers. By wagering against the dealer, beginning players do not need to be concerned about other, more advanced people taking their $$$$.
An additional Pai Gow benefit is the relatively slow game pace, newcomers should be able to take their time and strategize while not needing to make quick selections.
It’s also much simpler to play for a long time with just a tiny bit of money seeing as, to not win, each of your hands must be lower than each of the casino’s hands.
Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the normal 52-card basic deck and one joker. The gambler is given 7 cards face up and the casino is given seven cards faces hidden.
One 5 card hand and a 2 card hand need to be put together from the 7 cards dealt, the 5 card hand must be higher than the two card hand. To succeed, a player needs both of his hand values to be better than the casino’s.
