Newcomer Tactics for Double-Hand Poker

Pai Gow Poker is a modern game with old origins. Founded on the old Chinese tile game and the modern American variation of poker, Pai Gow poker joins the east with the west in a wonderful game for new gamblers.

Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the gambler against the casino, unlike nearly all other poker games that players bet against other players. By gambling against the dealer, beginning players don’t need to be concerned about any other, more experienced players winning their moolla.

Another Pai Gow edge is the relatively slow game pace, rookies can take their time and strategize without needing to make hasty selections.

It’s also much simpler to wager on for an extended time with just a little amount of cash seeing as, to not win, each of your hands needs to be lower than both of the casino’s hands.

Pai Gow is played with 53 cards; the regular 52-card standard deck and one joker. The player is given seven cards faces showing and the dealer is dealt 7 cards faces hidden.

A five card hand and a 2 card hand need to be put together from the 7 cards, the 5 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.
