The Deal

Each 🛡 player receives two cards face down and then one card face up, dealt one at a time in rotation.

The Play

After 🛡 the initial deal, there is a betting interval. Each active player receives three more face up cards and one more 🛡 face down card, with a betting interval after each round of cards dealt. In the showdown, each player turns up 🛡 all of their hole cards and selects five of their seven cards as their hand. The player must separate these 🛡 cards from the other two, which they discard. The player cannot reclaim their discards upon finding that a better five-card 🛡 combination could have been made.
