Clearly this is not one of the most acclaimed styles of poker but still commonly played. It can be enjoyed by up to 7 players. It’s played with 1 deck of cards, including a joker. Interestingly, joker can be used only as an ace, or to finish off a straight, a flush, straight flush, or a royal flush. The essential detail here to remember is apart from the customary ranking of hands we’ve an additional winning hand that is "Five Aces" (4 Aces and the Joker). Astonishingly, five aces defeats all other hand yes, even a royal flush. Every gambler is dealt seven cards. These cards are arranged to create two hands; a 2 card hand and a five card hand. The five card hand must be stronger or be equal to the 2 card hand.
After arranging the 2 hands, the cards are positioned on the table with the faces down. Once down, you can no longer switch them. The dealer will flip over his cards and assemble their hands. Each players hand is played against the croupier’s hands. Should the player take one hand and lose the other, this is called a "push" and absolutely no cash is lost or won. If croupier wins both hands then the bettor looses their wager and vice versa. Now if the hand is a draw, the dealer wins everything. After the hand is played, the next player clock-wise gets to be the croupier and the next hand is dealt.
