Question:    What is the most common mistake made in Pai Gow Poker?

Answer:    The most common mistake made in Pai Gow Poker is poker players’ assumption that they will win solely on the basis of a strong five-card hand. Do not deny your two-card hand the opportunity to become a pair. The basic strategy for arranging your hand is: the highest two-card hand that is less than your five-card hand. So remember, don't make the mistake of thinking that the hand with more cards is more important than the smaller one.
