Book Description

Excerpt from Draw: Rules for Playing Poker The dealer, beginning with the person at his left, throws around five cards to each player, giving one card at a time. The dealer shuffles and makes up the pack himself, or it may be done by the player at his left, and the player at his right must cut. To begin the pool, the player next to the dealer on his left, must put up money, which is called an Ante, and then m succession, each player passing around to the left, must, after looking at his hand, determine if he goes in or not; and each person de ciding to play for the pool must put in twice the amount of the ante. Those who decline to play throw up their cards, face downward, and per consequence, in front of the next dealer. When all who Wish to play have gone in, the person putting up the ante can either give up all interest in the pool, thus forfeiting the ante which has been put up, or else can play like the others who have gone in, by making good, that is, put ting up in addition to the ante as much more as will make him equal instake to the rest.
