Pai Gow Poker

[queen of hearts]

Now this is another form of poker that I like to play.
Its the mix of both poker and the game Pai Gow, though it is played with a regular deck of cards along with one joker.

The joker is used more or less used as a wild to help in making a better hand.
Each person playing recieves 7 cards.

These cards are then taken and made into two seperate hands.
One hand will have 5 cards and is called the high hand. The other hand which has only 2 cards is called the low hand.

The idea of the game is to beat the dealer by having both the highest and lowest hands according to the traditional poker rules.

This game is quite the challenge and it does take a while to get used playing. At least it took me a while. Though it is alot of fun to play.
