The rules in terms of 👄 betting structures, play of the hand, and showdown are the same as in Texas hold 'em. However, before play begins 👄 all cards 2 through 5 are removed (16 cards), thus the total number of cards in the deck is 36. 👄 Aces are high, but same as in Texas hold 'em, can make both low and high end of straights. For 👄 example, the lowest straight would be (9x-8x-7x-6x-Ax) and the highest (Ax-Kx-Qx-Jx-10x). This changes the probability of hands and alters hand 👄 rankings.[2]
