Note for experts
This chapter introduces a simple terminology that PaiGow.com uses in describing the playing strategies. You will need to know that terminology in order to understand Chapter 5's description of the traditional strategy and Chapter 11's description of the Denenberg Strategy.
If you are already an experienced Pai Gow player, you will easily understand a much briefer version of this chapter, which will quickly show you the terminology. Go to the abbreviated version of Chapter 4, Naming the Divisions.
