This game is usually played for money as, unlike other card games, for example euchre or cribbage, there is no scoring involved. The game is played using one deck of cards from which the dealer deals three cards to each player. Prior to the deal each player must place a sum of money, the 'ante', into what is commonly referred to as ' the pot'. Each player in turn bets by placing further money into the pot until there are only two players left in the game. The player with the highest ranking hand wins the contents of the pot.
