The game can be learnt quicker if you have played Five Card Stud before.The small blind is posted by the person to the left of the dealer button. The following player posts a big blind. Five cards are dealt to each player. The first round of betting is initiated by the player left to the big blind by either calling, raising or folding to get out of the hand before any money has been put into the pot.

The remaining players get a draw where they get the chance to improve their hand. The cards from 0 through 5 are discarded and replaced by an equal number of cards given by the dealer.

The second and last round of betting is initiated by the player sitting to the left of player posting the big blind. When the last bet has been called, there's showdown and the lowest hand wins the pot. The player who made the last bet or raise is first to show his/her hand, and if another player doesn't have a better hand, it may be mucked. If everyone checks, the player closest to the dealers left side shows first.
