Before you deal · 2–6 players

Practical guide: 2–6. Replacement draws can exhaust the stub: agree a proper reshuffle procedure before dealing.

Use 52 cards, button, blinds and agreed limits. This guide uses blinds, not an ante-only home version.

Agree the opening contribution, limits and tie rules before the first hand. Use practice counters while learning.
