TWO WAY

Two Way Texas Hold'em Poker

Two Way, Ante and Blind

To play this game, you start by placing three equal bets called the Two Way, Ante and Blind. These bets are mandatory and must be of equal value. You will then receive two cards.

The Flop

3 communal cards will then be dealt face up to the designated area.
All players will have the option of checking (add no additional wager) or adding to their original three bets (which must again be equal in each of the three areas). Your further bet is optional, and depends on how you view your hand, which consists of your two hole cards plus the three communal cards. The dealer will then deal two further communal cards called The River.
All players remain in the hand if they check.

The River

All players then have the option of checking (add no additional wager) or a further bet in the designated position of equal amount (the river wager). All players remain in the hand if they check.

Showdown

The dealer will now reveal their two cards.
If the dealer qualifies (at least a pair) made up of the best 5 card hand from the 2 hole cards and the 5 communal cards. The dealer will then determine the best 5 card hand out of the 2 hole cards and the 5 communal cards, for each player.

If the player's hand is higher ranking, the Ante, Blind and any Flop or River wagers will be paid even money. If the dealer's hand ranks higher than the player's the Ante, Blind and any Flop or River wagers will be lost. If the dealer's hand does not qualify , the Blind and any Flop or River wagers will be returned to the player.
The Ante remains in play and if the dealer's hand is lower than the player's the Ante will be paid even money. If the dealer's hand is higher than the player's the Ante will be lost.

Two Way

If either the player's hand or the dealer's hand has a straight or better the Two Way wager will be paid at corresponding odds.
If neither dealer nor player have a straight or better the Two Way wager loses.
