Choose an ante. Four seats pay in; one pot comes back.
Showdown
You take the table
+$200
Three rivals. One clean read.
Four seats. One shared fuse.
Everyone starts with a private card and one opening Board card. Two more shared cards can follow. Get close to 21, read three distinct rivals, and win the whole pot.
Ante. All four seats pay the same stake into one pot.
Board. The shared path has three cards: Opening, Turn, and Final. Before another player reveals one, every active seat chooses Ride or Lock without seeing it.
Hand. Take a private card that only helps or hurts you. You get two per hand.
Lock. Freeze your current number. Future Board cards cannot change it, but you still have to answer later bets.
Pressure. Once per board state, any seat can raise half the ante. Call to stay in or fold the whole hand.
Showdown. Highest total at or below 21 takes the pot. Ties split it.
