Form the highest ranked 5 card poker hand OR obtain the lowest hand.
The dealer is decided and the blind bets are paid. Each player is dealt 2 down cards and one up card. The first betting round begins, the bring in is imposed on the player with the highest up card, and moving in a clockwise direction each player calls, raises on the bring in, or folds. Once betting has concluded, the fourth card is dealt face up, followed by the next betting round. Then the fifth card is dealt face up, and another betting round starts. The sixth card is then dealt face up, followed again with a round of betting. The seventh and last card is then dealt face down, followed by the last round of betting. The game then moves to a showdown, where the pot is split between the highest hand and the lowest low hand. If there are no qualifying low hands, the pot is scooped by the highest hand.
