• Boot Amount: Before the game begins, all players agree upon a minimum stake called the “boot.” Each player contributes this amount to the pot, which is placed at the center of the table.

• Dealing Cards: The dealer, chosen randomly, distributes three cards face-down to each player in a clockwise manner. Players can choose to look at their cards (“seen”) or keep them face-down (“blind”).

💰 Betting Rounds

• Blind Player: A player who hasn’t seen their cards. Blind players must bet at least the current stake and no more than twice that amount.

• Seen Player: A player who has looked at their cards. Seen players must bet at least twice the current stake and no more than four times that amount

Betting proceeds clockwise, with each player choosing to:

• Call: Match the current bet.

• Raise: Increase the bet within the allowed limits.

• Fold: Withdraw from the current round, forfeiting any bets placed.

The betting continues until all but one player have folded or a showdown is requested.

🔍 Showdown

A showdown occurs when:

• All players except one have folded, making the remaining player the winner.

• A player requests a showdown, and all remaining players agree. In this case, all involved players reveal their cards, and the one with the highest-ranking hand wins the pot.

🃏 Hand Rankings (Highest to Lowest)

1. Trail (Three of a Kind): Three cards of the same rank (e.g., A-A-A)

2. Pure Sequence (Straight Flush): Three consecutive cards of the same suit (e.g., 4-5-6 of Hearts).

3. Sequence (Straight): Three consecutive cards of different suits (e.g., 7-8-9 of mixed suits).

4. Color (Flush): Three cards of the same suit, not in sequence (e.g., 2-5-9 of Spades).

5. Pair: Two cards of the same rank (e.g., K-K-3).

6. High Card: When no other hand is formed, the highest card plays (e.g., A-7-4).

🔄 Additional Rules

• Sideshow: A seen player can request a sideshow with the previous seen player. If accepted, both compare cards privately, and the player with the lower-ranking hand folds

• Blind to Seen Transition: A blind player can choose to see their cards at any time, becoming a seen player and adhering to the corresponding betting rules.
