Place an ante on the table.

Note: The ante amount is set by the card room. There is no ante amount when the game stakes are $0.50/$1.00.

You are dealt three cards: two pocket cards and one visible card.

The Player with the lowest card showing must bring-in the betting.

In the second round, another visible card is dealt to all Players at the table. A round of betting follows. This process continues until each Player has one pocket card and four visible cards.

After the last visible card is dealt to each, a final round of betting follows. Remaining Players display their pocket card. The highest hand wins.
