Between the sheets

Misc

Players: 3-10

Initial Deal: no cards dealt to players

Betting:

Ante at least 4 times normal ante. Normal would be $2 for standard 25 cent games
After ante 5 cent minimum recommened, plays can bet only 1/2 total pot first round then can go for total pot.

Play:

Deal two cards with a space for a third in the middle. The player to the left of the dealer (then rotating around the table) bets an amount less then or equal to the entire pot that the third card dealt will be in between the first two cards. If the card is between the first two they collect that amount from the pot. If not they add their bet to the middle of the pot.

If the first card is a 3 and the second is a 10 any card from 4 to 9 win.

Special Cases:

If the first two cards are only 1 card apart then a minimum amount is bet by default. We use 5 cents.

If the first two cards are a pair then 2 times the minimum amount is paid. 10 cents.

ACES:

The first ace can be called high (over the king) or low (under the two). The second card as an Ace is always high. This allows the best hand to be Ace low-Ace High split. This can still loose to a tie Ace in the middle.

Winner: If third card is between first two cards

Variations:

Matches:

If the third card matches the low card then double the bet is paid.
If the third card matches the high card then triple the bet is paid.
