The Good the Bad & the Ugly Poker Rules
This game is a popular poker variation typical in America. The rules of the game are such that players are dealt 3 cards, two face down and one face up (you can look at them all). 3 cards are dealt face down to the board, although the images are face up (below) for the purpose of this illustration. These are community cards as indicated in the illustration below. You will also see how the Good-Bad-Ugly name relates to the game.

After you have been dealt your hole cards and
the 3 face down community cards have been dealt there is a round of betting. Then the first
community card is turned. As in the illustration above this is the far let card. This is called
'The Good' and all cards that have been dealt with the same rank become wild cards. In this
example, all 10's would become wild. There is another round of betting.
The middle card is now turned up, known as 'The Bad'. All cards dealt (to everyone) with the same rank, an Ace in the example above, must be thrown away. This includes all cards that are face down.
Another round of betting takes place and the final card,'The Ugly' is turned over. In this case it is a Jack and any players who have a Jack in their up cards must fold their hand.
There is another round of betting and then all players still in the hand are dealt one more card (face down). There is then the last round of betting. The rules of the Good the Bad and the Ugly are the same as Hold'em in that the player with the highest poker hand wins the pot.
