Newcomer Tactics for Double-Hand Poker
Pai Gow Poker is a current game with old origins. Founded on the old Chinese tile game and the modern American version of poker, Pai Gow poker marries the east with the wild west in an awesome game for beginning level gamblers.
Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the gambler vs. the house, unlike almost all other poker games that gamblers compete with other gamblers. By wagering against the dealer, beginner players don’t need to worry about other, more experienced gamblers taking their cash.
One more Pai Gow advantage is the generally leisurely game pace, newcomers should be able to take their time and strategize while not having to make hasty decisions.
It is also easier to bet on for a very long time with only a small amount of cash after all, to lose, each of your hands has to be lower than each of the dealer’s hands.
Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the familiar 52-card common deck and one joker. The gambler is given 7 cards face up and the house is given 7 cards faces hidden.
A five card hand and a 2 card hand have to be put together from the 7 cards, the 5 card hand has to be better than the 2 card hand. To succeed, a player needs both of his hand values to be higher than the casino’s.
