Newcomer Tactics for Double-Hand Poker

Pai Gow Poker is a current game with old origins. Based on the old Chinese domino game and the current American adaptation of poker, Pai Gow poker bands together the far east with the western in a wonderful game for beginner level players.

Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the gambler against the croupier, unlike the majority of other poker games that players wager against other gamblers. By playing against the dealer, starting players do not need to worry about other, more knowledgeable gamblers winning their $$$$.

One more Pai Gow advantage is the generally slow game play, novices can take their time and plan while not having to make hasty decisions.

It is also easier to wager on for a long time with just a little bit of cash since, to lose, both of your hands has to be under both of the houses hands.

Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the familiar 52-card basic deck and one joker. The player is dealt 7 cards faces showing and the casino receives seven cards faces hidden.

One five card hand and a two card hand need to be put together from the 7 cards, the five card hand must be better than the two card hand. To succeed, a player needs both of his hand values to be better than the casino’s.
