3-7 players are dealt five cards face down

WARNING!!! There is only one round of betting. If a player does not win at least half of the pot, he must match the entire pot.
After the betting round:

Cowboy - up to three cards (as in five card draw) and receive the same number of cards back
Cowgirl - each player in turn may discard just one card and receive one new card in exchange
Cowpatty - no cards are discarded or drawn; players play with their original five cards.

Players then declare high or low or both usually by taking chips under the table and putting none, one or two chips in one closed fist and putting back on the table. Players with no chips are trying to win the low hand, players with one chip are trying to win the high hand, and players with two chips are trying to win both ways.

WINNER: High hand splits with low hand. As stated before, if you stay in but do not win high or low you must match the pot. Players who fold must ante again to play in the next hand, and can then compete for the new pot. Play repeats until only two players stay and they split the pot, or just one player stays in and wins the entire pot.
