If there is a tie in two card guts, the player with the highest ranked card/pair wins.
Players who stay in go to showdown. The pot goes to the player with the highest hand. The dealer will ask people to open their hands and reveal their status in the game. Players who are in may hold a chip in their fist, and players who are out will have an empty hand. Once looking at their cards, a player decides whether they are in or out, starting to the left of the dealer. In two-card guts the player with the highest pair or, if there are no pairs, the highest single card wins.Īfter players pay the ante, each receives two or three cards. The ranking of hands in three card guts is (from high to low): straight flush, three of a kind, straight, flush, pair, high card. The rules remain the same, there are just more hand combinations with three cards. Guts may be played with two or three cards. THE DEAL: Starting from the player to the left of the dealer, each player is dealt 2 (or 3) cards face-down. OBJECTIVE OF GUTS: To win the pot by having the best hand of cards.
