Amateurs Tactics for Pai Gow Poker

Pai Gow Poker is a modern game with ancient origins. Based on the ancient Chinese tile game and the current American variation of poker, Pai Gow poker marries the far east with the western in an excellent game for starting players.

Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the gambler vs. the house, unlike most other poker games that players wager with other gamblers. By playing against the dealer, beginner players don’t need to fret about other, more skillful players taking their money.

One more Pai Gow edge is the relatively leisurely game play, novices should be able to take their time and plan while not needing to make quick decisions.

It’s also much simpler to play for a very long time with basically a tiny bit of cash since, to not win, each of your hands has to be under both of the casino’s hands.

Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the regular 52-card standard deck and one joker. The gambler is assigned seven cards faces showing and the casino gets seven cards faces hidden.

A 5 card hand and a two card hand have to be put together from the seven cards, the five card hand has to be higher than the two card hand. To win, a player is required to have both of his hand totals to be larger than the dealer’s.
