Paying cards

Playing the poker space
After the cards have been dealt and the missy is taken care of, each player takes the 5 cards in his hand that will make the best poker hand and lays the rest aside while poker is being played. There are 2 ways to play the poker pot:

  1. The players can have a “showdown” without betting, raising, or folding. Everyone puts their poker hands face up, and the best hand wins the pot.

    OR

  2. Players can bet and raise and fold as in a regular poker game; all bets are put into the space called “Poker Pot,” and the winner of the hand takes the pot.
