Pair of Jacks, Queens, Kings or Aces - draw 3 cards

Four cards to a Flush - draw 1 card

Three Card Royal Flush - draw 2 cards

Pair (2's to 10's) - draw 3 cards

NEVER keep a 'kicker'

Four Card Straight (outside straights only) - draw 1 card

NEVER draw to an inside straight

Three Card Straight Flush (inside or outside) - draw 2 cards

Two High Cards ( J,Q, K or A) - draw 3 cards
