1. The player whose turn it is to deal antes an agreed amount into the pot. 2. Each player is dealt three face-down cards, one at a time, in rotation. 3. The leader, as in Stud Poker, makes the first bet, followed by each player in rotation, and each player at his turn of play may check, bet, raise or drop out. 4. After this betting round is completed, a fourth card face up is dealt to each player and another betting round takes place, with high card betting first. The fifth card dealt, also an upcard, is followed by a betting interval. 5. The player now has five cards, three face down and two face up. He picks up the two upcards and places them face down among the three face-down cards; he then plays it out as in Five Card Draw Poker by discarding and drawing to his hand, or by standing pat.
