24. Laino High-Low Roll Em Over The game is played like High-Low Draw Poker Roll Em Over except that the leader (player to the dealer's left) must open the pot regardless of the value of his hand. Players can stand pat or discard only one or two cards and draw a like number. After the draw, players arrange their cards face down on the table as they see fit. Each player then selects one of his five face down cards and when all players are ready, dealer calls "Roll Em," and each player faces up a card and a betting interval takes place starting with the openers. The game continues in this manner until four cards have been rolled by each player. The last round of betting is followed by a simultaneous declaration of high or low or both high and low as described under General Rules for Poker. Straights and flushes count both high and low and the best low hand is 5-4-3-2-A.

I have been asked often how a certain hand should be rolled. In most situations it depends upon the impression you want to create. Should you want to conceal the true strength of your hand, you should hold back a key card as your final hole card. The four cards may be turned in a number of ways. Sometimes you may want to present another posture and so you roll your cards accordingly.
