Assuming it's the card game it's really pretty basic. Get dealt 7 cards and make two poker hands - one 5 card and the other 2 card. 5 card hand cannot rank lower than the 2 card hand. you play against the bank / house and compare 5 card hands and 2 card hands. To win both hands must beat the banks / houses. You lose if both your hands are worse. One better one worse results in a push

One worse and one tie results in a loss, OP.

Ah, forgot about that outcome.

Basically you always want to make the highest 5 card hand possible.

Not true, but we'll say you covered it in your "There are exceptions" comment.

Thanks for being kind...lol. Figured with the others pointing to some sites he could do a little research on his own.
