Have you ever heard of a poker game called
Pai Gow poker? Pai Gow poker is actually a
pretty simple game to learn. You would get
dealt seven cards, and out of those seven
cards, what you have to do is you have to
make two separate hands of poker. You would
take a five card hand, and you would take
a two card hand. Now, your five card hand
must be better than your two card hand. That
is if you have two kings and your five, you
can then assign any ah..any of the other cards
the two cards, as long as they don't beat
those two kings, which would obviously be
two aces. So you could have two kings in your
five card hand, and you could have two queens
in your two card hand, which by the way would
obviously be a very good ah hand for Pai Gow.
Now you're playing against the dealer in Pai
Gow. You can win one, or the other hand, or
you can win both hands. So, which, which is
kind of rare, and ties are actually pretty
common in Pai Gow. So at the end of all the
betting, you would then turn over your cards.
The dealer will turn over their cards, and
you would then check to see if your five hand...if
your five card hand beat their five card hand.
If you did, you would win that bet for that
hand. You would then look at your two card
hand, see how it fared against the dealer's
two card hand. If you beat them, well know
you've just uh...you've done a double-whammy
as we speak, and you would get to win that
one also, and you would take that bet back.
If you should lose the second bet, the dealer
would get it, and obviously you would've broken
even on that, that hand. So, remember, you
get dealt seven cards, and the opt, the thee,
the idea is to make two hands. One with five
cards, one with two cards. Remember the five
card hand has to be better than the two card
hand. My name is Dean Hale and I just taught
you how to play Pai Gow poker. Good luck.
