Method of playing a card game

Abstract: A card game played against a dealer by other players. A hand begins by placement of low and high hand bets by the other players, dealing one card face down as a low hand, and four cards face down for combination with the one card to form a high hand, to the dealer, and to each other player, inspection by each other player of his or her respective low hand card, and thereafter, selection by each other player of betting/play options. Then, the low and high hands are played. For the low hand, the dealer's card value is compared separately with the card values of the other players, with the lower value in each instance being the winner and a tie being a push. For the high hand, the better poker hand wins in each instance. Optionally, each player can make an ante bet, or in a second embodiment, high and low hand side bets, which pay off according to the odds of occurrence of various card values and combinations.
