Draw
Players: 4-7
Initial Deal: Seven down cards to each player
Betting:
Ante if wanted.
After the Initial deal betting begins with the player to the left of the dealer and rotates to the left for each betting round. For most betting I recommend the initial bet and 3 raises maximum. Bet and raise amounts equal to the ante. This keeps the betting under control.

Play:
Each player passes three cards to the player on their left after the first round. After the next betting round, everyone passes two cards to the player on their left. After another betting round, players pass one card to their left. Each player then chooses five cards to keep and discards the remaining two. Play continues with a rolling showdown. Cards speak for themselves.

Winner: High hand
Variations:
Mixed Passing The cards are passed to other than the person to the left (Ex. 3-left, 2-right, 1-left or 3-left, 2-two-to-the-left, 1-three-to-the-left).
Low Hand: Low hand on the table wins. You can also do a split pot where High hand and Low hand split the pot.
Slow Showdown The player keeps all seven cards at the end and chooses which to turn up. This allows the player to change from hi to lo depending on what is being played (or to declare both).
