Pai Gow Poker By Adel Awwad At Isnare.com Ezine Articles

Pai Gow poker can be a very slow game with little winning or losing by the player. It is a good game to rest at and have a drink. The reason for this is there are many tie hands dealt and no money is won or lost. This changes drastically for those players who are willing to take the bank. When you take the bank, you are replacing the house for this hand and are playing against all of the other players at the table. You must be able to cover all of the bets the other players have up.

If you have been consistently getting good hands, this is a very good play, as you will likely win more hands than you lose. If the bettors are all betting similar amounts, this means you will gain even if you lose to some of the players. If you are running poorly, then playing the bank should be put off until your luck changes. If a big bettor is having a bad run of luck, this could be an opportunity for you if you are willing to cover his bet as well as the rest of the table. Remember this is gambling. Gambling is all about taking risk. The good gambler tries to find situations where he feels he has an edge. Playing the banker in Pai Gow can be a situation where you can find such an edge.

For those of you who are not familiar with Pai Gow, the game is similar to poker. Each player is dealt seven cards. The players then break the dealt cards into a five card hand and a two-card hand. The five card hand must have the higher poker hand than the two card hand. For example, a hand that includes two aces and two kings would be set up with the aces in the five card hand and the kings in the two card hand. The dealer does the same thing with his/her hand. In order to win your bet, your two hands must beat both of the dealer’s hands. If the dealer wins a hand and ties the other, the dealer will win. This is the banker’s edge over the players. It is another reason for you to consider taking the bank and this edge over the other players.

Pai Gow allows for slow play and little change in your starting funds or aggressive play by taking the bank. It is up to you, which game you play.
