This is five-card draw with an opening requirement known as ΓÇ£jacks or better to open.ΓÇ¥ But unlike Jackpots, a four-flush may also open in order to speed up the game. Five cards are dealt face down to each player. There is a betting round, but a player must have at least a pair of jacks or a four-flush to place the first bet. If no one opens the betting round, the deal is passed out as follows: The dealer collects everyoneΓÇÖs cards but leaves their antes in the pot. The deck is shuffled, each player antes again and the game is redealt with the same opening requirement. This process repeats until someone bets with at least two jacks or a bobtail. After the first betting round, each player may replace any of his five cards with new ones dealt from the deck. There is a final betting round, followed by the showdown in which the best high hand wins the pot. The average winning hand is two pairs, but remember that the player who opened was dealt at least two jacks or a possible flush!
