PASS the TRASH
1. The dealer distributes seven cards to each player, and
announces which way the cards will be passed.
2. Players select the two cards which are the least important
towards achieving their ultimate high or low goal.
3. On the dealer’s call, the two cards are passed to the player to
the left or to the right, according to the dealer’s original
direction.
4. In rotation, a Must Bet follows after each of the three times that
cards are passed. (No checking is allowed during this phase of
the hand.)
5. After the third pass, betting is complete. The players remaining
in the hand will select the five cards they are going to play with
and discard, unseen by the other players, the two cards they do
not want.
6. The players now arrange their five cards in the order they want
them to appear to the other players during the “rolling” phase
of the game. The pile of five cards is placed face down in front
of each player. Once the cards are in place, they can no longer
be rearranged by the player.
7. Playing of the hand continues with each player simultaneously
turning over the first card of their pile.
8. Betting on that card takes place. The player with the highest
card is the bettor. In this phase of the game, since players’ cards
are showing, checking is allowed. The bettor has the option of
making a bet or checking. The players that follow in rotation
may call, raise, or if the bettor checked, he/she may also check.
Players also have the option to fold when it is their turn.
9. After the betting on the first rolled card is over, the same
procedure follows for the next three cards. (Players now have
four of their cards showing.)
10. Before turning over their last card, the players will declare
which way they are going, high or low, using the “coin in hand”
method.
11. After declaring, the last round of betting follows. The player
having the highest hand starts the betting.
