2. The game is played using one standard 52-card deck. The game uses standard poker rules for scoring and comparing hands.
3. To begin, the player makes an Ante Bet.
4. The dealer deals six cards face down to the player. The dealer deals to himself, three cards face up and three cards face down.
5. The player examines his cards and must either fold the hand, losing his Ante, or raise by making an additional wager that is equal to his Ante. Players may not share information about their cards with other players.
6. The dealer reveals his hole cards and compares his best five-card hand to the player's best five-card hand. The dealer must qualify with ace-king or higher.

   • If the dealer's hand beats the player's hand, then the player loses his raise bet.
   • If the player's hand beats the dealer's hand, then the player is paid 1 to 1 on his raise bet.

Usually, I like to do my own math. However, in this case ShuffleMaster, who is marketing the game, kindly provided the math report by mathematician Cindy Liu, which the Ante bet analysis is based on. The Two Way Bad Beat is based on the work of Elliot Frome. I did the analysis of Aces Up.
