    I play knock high and low.

    HIGH=All cards are face value- 2 thru 10.
    all face cards count 10 and aces 1 or 11.

    If nobody knocks high (closest to 31) on first round then we can knock low ball closest to zero.
    cards 2 thru 10 face value. all face cards zero and ace being 1
    in low knock.

    holding all 3 face cards gives you a 30 for going high or zero for low knock. You just have to go with the betting.
    Betting is limited to open and 3 raises like poker.

    (we also turn over 1 card at a time and bet) after knocking if two or more knock. If only one player knocks they win pot and don’t have to show cards.

    We play no draw! Only the 3 cards dealt is your hand.
    No knock on High or Low- all cards tossed in-everybody ante’s to the pot and 3 new cards are dealt-no reshuffle.

    We also call this GUTS poker. (same as knock)

    We play “TONK” with five cards.

    But don’t ever play for money online!
    The old word to the wise.
