Newcomer Tactics for Pai Gow Poker

Double-hand Poker is a current game with old ancestry. Based on the old Chinese domino game and the modern American adaptation of poker, Pai Gow poker bands together the east with the west in a wonderful game for new players.

Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the gambler against the croupier, unlike almost all other poker games that gamblers wager with other gamblers. By betting against the dealer, beginning players do not have to be concerned about any other, more experienced gamblers taking their $$$$.

An additional Pai Gow benefit is the fairly slow game play, newcomers are able to take their time and strategize while not needing to make frenzied decisions.

It’s also simpler to enjoy for a long time with only a tiny amount of money after all, to not win, each of your hands needs to be lower than each of the houses hands.

Pai Gow is played with 53 cards; the familiar 52-card common deck and one joker. The gambler is dealt seven cards face up and the croupier gets 7 cards face down.

A 5 card hand and one 2 card hand must be put together from the seven cards, the five card hand has to be higher than the 2 card hand. To win, a player needs both of his hand values to be larger than the houses.
