Draw Poker Jacks Back is played with a standard 52-card deck and
one Joker. The Joker may be used as an Ace or as any card that completes
a straight, flush, or a straight flush. All players place their
ante in the pot. Players are dealt
poker hands of five cards face down, one at
a time, in rotation. A round of betting begins (check, bet, call,
raise, or fold). If no player has a pair of Jacks or better (higher)
after the initial deal, the game converts to the game of Lowball,
i.e., California or Kansas City Lowball. If a player has a pair
of Jacks or better after the initial deal, the remaining players
may discard any number of their original cards and have the same
number of cards replaced by the dealer. Another round of betting
occurs. The player with the highest ranking five-card poker hand
wins. Five
Aces is the best possible hand (four Aces and the Joker).
