Now the intricacy of Pai Gow really shows. Here are
a couple of Pai Gow Poker Tips for you to try. For the
sake of conversation, lets call any pair of 2's through
6's a "low pair", 7's through J's a "medium
pair", and Q's through A's a "high pair".
To avoid bewilderment we'll call the two-card hand the
"front" hand and the five-card the "back"
hand. No Pair:
• Back hand: the highest card; Front hand: the next
two highest cards. One pair:
• Back: the pair; Front: next two highest cards.
