The only poker hand in the two-card hand is a pair or no pair, after which the individual cards determine the value. The five-card hand is ranked according to conventional poker rules.The high hand must be of higher poker value than the low hand. The player will separate his seven cards into a five-card high hand, and two-card low hand.Some casinos have dropped this ridiculous rule, but most still cling to it. Standard poker ranking rules are followed with one strange exception - the A2345 straight (known as 'the wheel') is considered the second highest straight.After the player makes a bet, the dealer will deal the player and himself seven cards each.
It may be used as an ace, or to complete a straight, flush, or straight flush, or royal flush. A single 53-card deck is used, consisting of the usual 52 cards, plus one joker.
