Beginners Strategy for Pai Gow Poker

Pai Gow Poker is a current game with ancient ancestry. Built on the ancient Chinese domino game and the current American adaptation of poker, Pai Gow poker marries the eastern with the western in an awesome game for starting players.

Pai Gow is a poker game that puts the gambler vs. the casino, unlike nearly all other poker games that gamblers bet against other gamblers. By playing against the dealer, starting players don’t have to be concerned about any other, more skillful players winning their money.

One more Pai Gow advantage is the generally leisurely game play, novices can take their time and plan while not having to make hasty choices.

It’s also simpler to participate in for a long time with just a small amount of money after all, to not win, both of your hands needs to be under each of the houses hands.

Pai Gow is played with 53 cards; the regular 52-card basic deck and one joker. The player is given 7 cards face up and the dealer is dealt seven cards face down.

A five card hand and one 2 card hand need to be put together from the seven cards dealt, the five card hand must be better than the 2 card hand. To win, a player needs both of his hand totals to be higher than the houses.
