Amateurs Schemes for Double-Hand Poker

Double-hand Poker is a modern game with ancient ancestry. Based on the ancient Chinese tile game and the current American version of poker, Pai Gow poker bands together the east with the western in an excellent game for beginner level players.

Pai Gow is a poker game that puts the gambler vs. the casino, unlike nearly all other poker games that players bet against other gamblers. By betting against the dealer, beginning players do not have to worry about other, more skillful gamblers winning their moolla.

Another Pai Gow edge is the fairly leisurely game play, rookies can take their time and plan without needing to make quick decisions.

It’s also easier to play for a very long time with just a tiny bit of cash seeing as, to not win, each of your hands has to be lower than both of the houses hands.

Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the regular 52-card standard deck and a single joker. The gambler is given 7 cards faces showing and the dealer gets seven cards face down.

One five card hand and a two card hand must be put together from the seven cards dealt, the five card hand has to be better than the two card hand. To win, a player needs both of his hand totals to be better than the casino’s.
