Game Rules - Hold'em Blackjack


THE SIT DOWN
Up to 6 players are seated around a table.

VALUE OF THE CARDS

The value of a hand is the sum of the point counts of each card in the hand.

HAND RANKING
The best possible hand is a "7 Card Charlie" (7 cards without going over 21) The next best hands are 21, 20, 19, etc If all hands are over 21 (busted) then the best hand is the one closest to 21 All 21's are equal in value (for example : the hand A-Q has the same value as 4-2-8-7).

DEALER BUTTON
A round marker known as the dealer button sits in front of a designated player to determine the order of betting and position of the blinds in the hand. The dealer button is moved from player to player one position clockwise between each hand. In front of one of the players is a round disc or button. This disc determines the order of betting (posting the blinds) and moves to the left one player at a time, after each hand.

BLINDS AND ANTES
Blinds and Antes are forced bets that are posted before any cards are dealt
