Re: Poker Game Rules -- JACKS BACK
JACKS BACK
Jacks Back is a five-card "jacks or better" draw game. The game converts to Lowball if no one with a pair of jacks or better opens the pot for high. In that case, the player immediately clockwise from the dealer button has first action. A pot that is opened as high uses all jacks or better rules. A pot that is
opened as low uses all Lowball rules.
Rules of Jacks Back
1. If the pot is not opened for high, the game becomes the same as single blind Lowball. The person to the left of the dealer button is forced to open the pot at the lower limit, and all Lowball rules apply.
2. If the opening forced bet is not raised, the player who made the forced bet has the option of raising after the dealer has acted. If no one opens for high and the player to the left of the button has less than half the blind, the next player is forced to make the blind bet. After the hand, if the all-in player wins the pot or buys in again, the button remains in the same position for the all-in player to take the blind, should no one open for high. The button then advances to its proper position.
3. If the pot is opened falsely for high and no one calls, the opener loses the opening bet, and the bet remains in the pot. The button then freezes, and the hand is re-dealt.
4. A maximum of a bet and six raises are allowed in any multi-handed pot. |
