How to Play 3-5-7 Guts Poker

Each player is required to ante. The dealer will then deal each player three cards down. Each player will look at their hand and decide if they are “In” or “Out”. To stay in the game place a chip in the palm of your hand and hold your fist across the table. A player who doesn’t want to play the hand will have an empty fist. Once all of the players have reached a decision on whether they will play the hand or not, a drop takes place whereby each player will open their hand, and those with chips will of course play against each other.

Players who are left in the game will reveal their hand ONLY to the players who stayed in the hand. The player with the lowest three card poker hand will pay the player with the highest three card poker hand an amount equivalent to the pot. The chips in the pot are to remain in the middle and will not go to the winner.

Five Card Guts Hand

Once you’ve completed the three card hand, each player will ante again and the dealer will deal each player an additional two cards. The same step will continue in round 2, whereby each player will determine whether they want in or out. Once everyone’s hands are in the middle, the dealer will instruct the players to drop. The players who “Gutted” will reveal their cards only to the other players still in the hand. The player with the lowest five card poker hand will pay the player with the highest five card poker hand with an amount matching to the total of the pot. Again, the actual pot is to remain in the middle.

The Seven-Card Hand

Each player antes again and the dealer will deal an additional two cards to each player. Players will once again decide if they want in or out by placing a chip in their hand. Once everyone has had time to do this, the dealer will instruct everyone to open their hands and drop. Only the players with chips in their hands will play. The lowest five card poker hand in this round will pay the highest five card hand an amount equivalent to the pot value.

How To Play Guts
