Pow Gow Poker Rules
This is done by creating two poker hands from the seven cards that are dealt to you – one of the hands has to be a five-card hand, and the other has to be a two-hand card. Also, the five-card (big or high) hand must be at least equal or have a higher rank than the two-card (small or low) hand.

The goal of the game is to divide a seven-card hand into a left hand with five cards and a right hand with two cards. Familiarize Yourself With the Rules. The rules of Fortune Pai Gow Poker will be familiar to those of you who like to play Pai Gow Poker online or at land-based casinos. Like the original game, Fortune Pai Gow Poker uses a 52-card deck and a joker. It’s a battle between you and the house to create two winning poker hands out of seven cards.
Pai gow poker got started in the United States. It’s inspired by – but not to be confused with – pai gow, the Chinese domino game.
Pai gow poker was created in the USA by Sam Torosian and Fred Wolf.
Sam Torosian is the one who invented the game. But no one really knows who he is. The reason why is sort of sad.
Sam received bad legal advice from both Mike Caro, a poker player and author, and a lawyer. Both said card games were public domain. In other words, Sam couldn’t patent his game.
After adding the game to his casino floor, and Fred Wolf doing the same in the casino he managed, pai gow poker took off.
Unfortunately, Torosian later found out he could patent pai gow poker. But he had only one year after introducing the game before it became public domain.
Sam missed his window…and an estimated $70,000+ per month in royalty checks.
And it’s probably also because of Torosian’s mistake that Fred Wolf patented every other game he’s invented. Those include Sweepstakes Blackjack, Fast-Action Hold’em, Lucky Pan-9, and Pai Gow Jokers.

I've been fortunate enough to see this hand dealt twice so far this year (and twice in my life...and I'm not expecting to see it again), and I don't think either recipient set it right...
Without doing the math...
While the Royal is a unbeatable, KQ is easily beat, making a push likely. More likely than not, this will win, but only marginally so.
The AA is almost unbeatable, and the two pair is particularly strong. This makes a loss extremely unlikely, and even a push not very likely. This is far more likely to win. Not guaranteed, but close.
I don't understand this game well enough to actually cast a vote.

Low hand | High hand | Low PR | High PR | Total PR | EV |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
KQ | Royal flush | 0.452967 | 0.999507 | 1.452474 | 0.416162 |
AA | KKQQJ | 0.989071 | 0.821870 | 1.810941 | 0.765667 |
Repeating my comment that I don't understand this game, I get that KK/QQQ gives Total PR=0.978758+0.880168=1.858926; i.e., higher than either of the two suggested splits. Does making the hand with the joker change something?
The joker is only partly wild. It can complete a straight or flush, otherwise it's an ace.

Thanks! If I had good sense and good manners, I would stay out of a conversation where I don't know what I am talking about. (At least I admitted up front that I don't understand the game.)'Royal Flush + Royal Match in Pai Gow Poker'
I never play the silly side bets, but does the Royal Match change things? Or is that based upon the 7 original cards, and not how they are set?
Wait a sec...

I once played a Pai Gow game with a side bet that was based on the way you set your five card hand. Under these circumstances it would probably make sense to play the royal.

But the most common 'Fortune' side bet is based on your 7 cards, regardless of how you set them. You'd get credit for the royal even if you play two pair + pair.Pai Gow Poker Strategy Chart
