Novice Strategy for Pai Gow Poker

Double-hand Poker is a cutting-edge game with ancient origins. Founded on the old Chinese domino game and the modern American adaptation of poker, Pai Gow poker combines the east with the western in a wonderful game for beginning level gamblers.

Pai Gow is a poker game that puts the gambler vs. the croupier, not like nearly all other poker games that players play with other gamblers. By gambling against the dealer, starting players don’t need to be concerned about any other, more experienced gamblers taking their mulla.

Another Pai Gow advantage is the fairly slow game play, beginners are able to take their time and scheme without needing to make quick selections.

It is also much simpler to play for an extended time with only a little amount of money after all, to lose, both of your hands must be lower than each of the houses hands.

Pai Gow is played with 53 cards; the normal 52-card standard deck and a single joker. The gambler is given 7 cards faces showing and the croupier receives 7 cards face down.

A five card hand and one 2 card hand need to be made from the 7 cards, the 5 card hand must be stronger than the 2 card hand. To win, a player needs both of his hand values to be better than the dealer’s.
