I'm a member of a regular Friday night poker game, and as with most friendly games, the dealer rotates from player to player for each hand, and the dealer gets to select his game. My favorite? A game called "Texas Push".

The Idea of the game is To create a five card hand (one down card and four up cards, similar to five card stud) at which the highest hand and the lowest (worst) hand split the pot.

The game starts with each Player getting one down card. The first player then receives an up card. The player has the choice of maintaining the card, or passing it to another player. If the player keeps the card, the next player gets an up card along with the exact same option. If the player passes the card, then the next player then additionally has the exact same option and so on through the players. In each case, there's a charge to passing a card. After a player keeps a card, another previous players are "filled in", they get a card that they have no option but to keep. This process continues, with gambling on every finished round, until each of the players have 5 cards in total. After all of the players have 5 cards (and the gambling is finished), the players are then asked to "declare". A coin in their hand means they're declaring for the "large" hand, and no coin usually means that the "low" hand. The highest and lowest hand for each declaration split the total pot.

The plan of this game Is to utilize the capability to pass cards to develop either a high or low hand. Poker players will be aware of what the high hands will be - typically three of a kind, a straight, or a flush will be a winning hand. For the low hand, the ultimate will be 6, 4, 3, 2, Ace in which they are not in suit (a flush or straight cannot be used as a low hand).

It's a fun, strategic game That's always a hit at our weekly poker game. I.e. visit their website.
