Paigow Poker Rules and How to Play
The object of paigow poker is to make two poker hands. One that
is a 5 card hand and one that is a 2 card hand. You want to beat
the dealers hand with both of your hands. All players are dealt
7 cards face down. The hands are played and ranked as traditional
poker hands (with one exception: A2345 is the second highest straight),
and the 5 card hand must be higher than the 2 card hand. If both
hands are better than the banker's hand, you win, if both lose,
you lose, otherwise it's a push. The banker wins ties the example
is A K vs. A K.
The game is played with a standard 52 card deck plus one joker.
The joker can be used as an Ace or to complete a flush, straight
or a straight flush. In paigow poker, the only strategic decisions
are how much to bet and how to set your hand.

After placing your bet you set your card by placing the 2 card hand
over the 5 card hand. The banker designates which hands go to which
player by shaking a dice cup with three dice; the banker's position
is 1, 8 or 15 and the hands are passed out counterclockwise. So,
if the dealer is the bank and the dice total to 8, the dealer gets
the first hand, player 1 gets the second, player 2 gets the third
and so on. The dice randomizes the hands because it happens after
each deal.
There is a 5% commission on winning bets that you can either put
out next to your winning bet, or the dealer will subtract from your
payoff.
