A 52 card deck is used. A card is dealt face up into each player's "key" space. There is then a round of betting as in stud. Each player is then dealt 4 cars. Each player chooses three of these and place them face down in the three spaces next to the "key" space. Another three cards are dealt to each player which, together with the one remaining from before, make 4, 3, of these are placed face up in the next three space. Then there is another round of betting. Another 3 cards are dealt and the players place 3 cards face down in the fourth spaces. Then a final 2 cards are dealt to each and three cards are placed up in the last spaces. Another round of betting. Then each player removes two lines of 4 cards, leaving the hand he wants to stay with. A final round of betting.
