Special Notes	Played like Texas Holdem except the dealer recieves no hole cards. He instead recieves the cards that would be burned before the flop, turn and river. At the showdown the dealer will have three hole cards, but will have to play the pre-flop round of betting blind.
Description	All players except the dealer are dealt two cards face down. The dealer recieves no cards. There is a round of betting which the dealer must play blind. The dealer is dealt the next card, and three community cards are turned over. There is another round of betting. The dealer is dealt his second card, and the fourth communinty card is revealed followed by another round of betting. The dealer is dealt a third and final card and the last community card is dealt. There is a final round of betting followed by the showdown. The dealer may use any of his three cards plus the community cards to make his best five card hand while the other players may only use their two hole cards with the community cards. If the dealer folds at any point, the cards that would have gone to him, are instead burned, and dealt to the muck.
