This game can be played with a maximum of 6 players.
Each player is dealt 5 cards. A round of betting occurs (during this betting round, a player must hold a pair of Jacks or better to begin betting). If no player can open the pot, we all muck our hands, re-ante, re-deal, and re-play the hand.
If the pot has been opened, and the bet has been called, then each player discards up to 3 cards (4 with an ace). A second/final round of betting ensues. This is followed by a showdown.
