Using Quarters, dimes and nickles, This game has been played many a times during our holiday gatherings...
Be warned.. The "Pot" does double often and then things really get interesting.
RANK OF CARDS
A (high), K, Q, J, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2.
THE BETTING
The player on the dealer's left may bet up to the entire pot or any portion of the number of chips in the pot, but they must always bet a minimum of one chip.
When the player has placed a bet, the dealer turns up the top card from the pack and places it between the two cards already face up. If the card ranks between the two cards already face up, the player wins and takes back the amount of his bet plus an equivalent amount from the pot.
If the third card is not between the face-up cards, or is of the same rank as either of them, the player loses his bet, and it is added to the pot.
**If the two face-up cards up are consecutive, the player automatically loses, and a third card need not be turned up.
** If the two face-up cards are the same, the player wins two chips and, again, no third card is turned up.
"Acey-Deucey" (ace, 2) is the best combination, and a player tends to bet the whole pot, if they can. This is because the only way an ace-deuce combination can lose is if the third card turned up is also an ace or a deuce.
After the first player has finished, the dealer clears away the cards and places them face down in a pile. The next player then places a bet, and the dealer repeats the same procedure until all the players, including the dealer, have had a turn.
If at any time, the pot has no more chips in it (because a player has "bet the pot" and won), each player again puts in one chip to restore the pot.
When every player has had a turn to bet, the deal passes to the player on the dealer's left, and the game continues.
