Practice Matters
Five Community Cards
Five Community Cards The top card is turned up first, followed by a betting interval. Each adjacent card (except the center card) is turned up in clockwise fashion and a betting interval follows each. The card in the center of the cross is turned up last. This last card is wild and so is any other card of the same rank, including cards in the active players' hands and the other community cards on the table. After the fifth betting interval, the rolling as described under Twin Beds Roll Em Over takes place. A low or a high hand is made by using either the 1,3,5, or the 2,3,4 set of community cards with your own five-card hand.
The strategy in Criss Cross,
The strategy in Criss Cross, like other games that make use of wild cards, is based on your judgment of the value of hands. Since each player will have at least one wild card, and three possible wild cards are lurking around, the player's hand values of high- and low-rank hands should be slightly increased over Twin Beds Roll Em Over.
