Certainly this is not one of the highly popular styles of poker but still widely played. It can be enjoyed by up to 7 players. It is played with one deck of 52 cards, including a joker. Interestingly, the Joker can be used only as an ace, or to finish off a straight, a flush, straight flush, or a royal flush. The essential thing here to clearly recall is aside from the usual ranking of hands we have one more winning hand that is "Five Aces" (4 Aces and the Joker). Surprisingly, five aces beats all other hand including royal flush. Each player is given 7 cards. The cards are aligned to make two hands; a two card hand and a 5 card hand. The 5 card hand has to be stronger or be equal to the two card hand.
After setting up the 2 hands, the cards are laid on the poker table face down. Once down, you are no longer allowed to switch them. The dealer will turn over their cards and make their hands. Each players hand is played against the dealer's hands. Should the player take 1 hand and loses the other, this is known as "push" and no cash is lost or won. If croupier wins both hands then the individual gives up their wager the opposite is correct if the player wins both hands. Now if the hand is a tie, the croupier wins everything. After the hand is competed, the very next person clock-wise becomes the dealer and the following hand is given out.
