How To Win At Online Poker Consistently

I am a member of a regular Friday night poker game, and as with most friendly games, the dealer rotates from player to player for every hand, and the dealer gets to select his game. My favorite? A game known as "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 down one card. The first player then receives an up card. The player has the choice of keeping the card, or passing it to the next player. If the player keeps the card, the next player receives an up card along with the same alternative. If the player passes the card, then the next player then also has the exact same choice and so on through the players. In each case, there's a charge to passing a card. After a player keeps a card, the other previous players are "filled in", they get a card that they have no option except to keep. This process continues, with gambling on every finished round, until each of the players have 5 cards in total. Once all of the players have 5 cards (and the betting is completed), the players are then asked to "declare". A coin in their hand means they're declaring for the "large" hand, without a coin usually means the "low" hand. The lowest and highest hand for every declaration divide the total pot.

The strategy of this game Is to utilize the ability to pass cards to build either a low or high hand. Poker players will know what the high hands will be - typically three of a sort, a straight, or a flush is going to be a winning hand. For the low hand, the ultimate would be 6, 4, 3, 2, Ace where they are not in suit (a flush or straight cannot be utilized as a low hand).

It is a fun, strategic game That's always a hit at our weekly poker game. More Info: Get the facts.
