There are certain strategies that a player can adopt in pai gow poker, to maximize the chances of winning, here are a few mentioned

In the entire 7 cards dealt, if a player has no pair, straight or flushes, one should go in for a two card hand made of the second and third highest cards.
In case a player only has a pair, in the cards dealt, then the pair should be kept in the five card hand and the two highest cards should form the two card hand.
If one receives two pairs, there are few options which one can use. The player can keep the high pair behind in the five card hand and put the lower pair as the front as the two card hand. The other way of utilizing this position is to put both the pairs in the 5 card hand behind and keep the remaining two highest cards for the two card hand in front. The player can look to split the pair depending upon the side cards.
If one has a hand with three pairs, then it is definitely a good deal. The player should in this case put the highest pair in front as a two card hand and keep the other two pairs behind in the 5 card hand
If one has got three cards of one kind, example three kings, they should always be made a part of the 5 card hand placed behind. A two card hand of high cards from the remaining cards should be at the front. In case, one has a triple ace in the seven cards it should be split as one ace in two card hand in front and two ace behind in the five card hand.
In case there is straight or flush or both in the seven cards, then the arrangement of the five card straight or anything better that would result in the strongest two card hand, should be chosen.

Well the list of such strategies is long and difficult to enumerate with all its complexities. There is however an easy way of finding out the right strategies and also playing without paying. Such simulated conditions can only be found in an online pai gow poker. Playing online is the safest and fastest mode to attaining mastery in this card game.
