You get seven cards. You make a five card poker hand and you have a 'two card' hand with the leftovers.<BR/><BR/>Your five card hand MUST beat your two cards. (You can't have two pairs and put out the higher pair as the two cards.) If you've got nothing, all you can do is put your highest card in the five card hand, and the next two highest as the two cards.<BR/><BR/>You go heads up with the dealer. If both your hands beat theirs, you win. If both theirs beat yours your lose. Split and you push.<BR/><BR/>In Vegas usually you have to pay a commision on a win. You can also be the dealer where you go against everyone at the table, including the 'dealer'.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-75106172064458946242007-03-17T18:43:00.000-07:002007-03-17T18:43:00.000-07:00I realize that a 7 for 15 day from the line should...I realize that a 7 for 15 day from the line should garner no sympathy, and couple that with Butler hitting 48% from beyond the arc, it's no wonder Maryland lost today.<BR/><BR/>But, everyone has to admit that we got screwed on that false charge call on DJ in the final minute.
