Each player pays an ante of one chip, called the "tops". The value of the tops sets the value of all pays in the game. High-stakes players can agree to raise the limit by increasing their ante (this increased limit is only for those who agree to play the higher stakes and only affects those who have chosen to participate before receiving a hand; if none of the these players win, the "tops" are held over to the next hand. Usually it involves a two-chip ante, which is called "doubles". The rotation of dealing and playing is to the right, not to the left as in most card games. Each player receives 10 cards. Beginning with the winner of the last hand, each player either folds their hand ("going out on top") or agrees to play. Every player who folds loses their tops. If all but one fold, the final player receives the tops (called a "walk"), and the hand is over. Players pay one another for melds placed face up on the felt. If the player does not request payment prior to discarding, the other players are not obligated to pay them. If they are lucky enough to play another card, they can request payment at that time.
