The rules
How it plays
- Strip the deck by player count; with four players the classic deck runs from seven through ace.
- The dealer chooses and posts the invito before five hidden cards are dealt.
- Opening requires at least a pair of Jacks; if nobody opens, redeal and grow the pot.
- Players who meet the opening may exchange zero to four cards.
- The opener leads a pot-limit final round; in the Italian order a flush beats a full house.
