HOW TO PLAY

Before any cards are dealt, players make equal wagers in the Ante and Blind circle. The player can also make the optional wagers 5-Card Bonus and Pocket Aces Plus. Two cards are dealt to each player and the dealer. After this, players can either check (do nothing) or bet three to four times the Ante in the Play circle. The dealer then reveals the Three-card Flop. If players have not already made a Play wager, they can check or bet two times the Ante in the Play circle. The dealer then reveals the two-card river.  If players have not already made a play wager, then can forfeit their ante and blind or make a wager equal to 1 time their ante wager.
