Jacks to Open, Trips to Win
Players:
3-7.
Initial deal:
5 cards are dealt down to each player.
Play:
Played like 5-card draw, with the following differences: Only a player with a hand as good as or better than a pair of Jacks may open the betting. If someone has such a hand, they may open the betting. If nobody can open, the hand is discarded, everyone antes again, and hands are redealt. Once the betting is opened, play continues as in 5 Card Draw until the showdown. At this time, anyone who has 3 of a kind or better is eligible to win the pot. The best eligible hand takes the pot. If nobody has an eligible hand (that is, nobody has at least 3 of a kind), then the hand is discarded, everyone antes again, and hands are redealt only to those players who have not folded this hand or a previous hand. If, on any given hand (regardless of eligibility), all but one player folds his hand, then the surviving player wins the pot, thus ending the game |
