Newcomer Strategy for Double-Hand Poker

Thursday, December 4th, 2025

Double-hand Poker is a current game with old ancestry. Built on the ancient Chinese domino game and the modern American variation of poker, Pai Gow poker bands together the far east with the western in an awesome game for starting players.

Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the player versus the croupier, not like almost all other poker games that gamblers compete with other gamblers. By betting against the dealer, starting players don’t need to fret about other, more skillful individuals winning their $$$$.

One more Pai Gow benefit is the fairly leisurely game play, newcomers can take their time and scheme while not needing to make frenzied decisions.

It’s also simpler to bet on for an extended time with basically a little amount of cash since, to not win, each of your hands needs to be under both of the casino’s hands.

Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the normal 52-card basic deck and a single joker. The gambler is given 7 cards faces showing and the house is dealt 7 cards face down.

One 5 card hand and one two card hand must be made from the seven cards dealt, the five card hand has to be better than the two card hand. To succeed, a player needs both of his hand values to be higher than the dealer’s.
