At the start, you are dealt five cards from a shuffled deck. Your objective is to swap out the cards in your hand for new cards from the deck to obtain the best poker hand.

To make a swap, first select cards by clicking them. You may select as little as 1 and as many as 4 cards. Then click the overturned deck in the middle of the page. Your selected cards will be placed on the bottom of the deck IN THE ORDER that you selected them, and replaced by new ones from the top of the deck. The cards you swap will come up again in the future - you can use this feature to your benefit!

You are allowed to make 5 swaps per hand. You may submit your hand at any time by clicking the submit button. After 5 swaps, your hand will be submitted automatically. On submission, you will be rewarded points according to your poker hand and the cards will be discarded - they will not go back on the bottom of the deck. See 'Winning Combinations' for information on winning poker hands and their respective points. If you have none of the winning combinaitons in your hand, you will receive -100 points!

Keep playing until the cards in the deck run out. At this point, your final score will be tallied! The 'DECK' control in the conrtol panel will tell you how many cards are left in the deck.

At any time you can 'peek' at what has been submitted by clicing the peek button in the control panel. This will give you a hint of what is left in the deck.
