Archie is a triple draw high/ low split pot game. The pot is split between the best high hand and the best ace to five low, however, in order to take any part of the pot a hand must first qualify. The majority of the time the rules specify that a qualifying hand on the high side is a pair of nines or better, however, in some rooms a pair of sixes is the qualifier. On the low side an eight low or better has always been the requirement. Step 2: Start with a "Running Count" of zero at the start of the deck/shoe. As cards are revealed, keep adding or subtracting from the Running Count, according to the point system in step 1. For example, if the first ten cards to come out of the shoe were 3, 5, K, 7, Q, A, 8, 5, 4, 2, then the running count would be 1 +1 -1 +0 -1 -1 +0 +1 +1 +1 = +2. Betting With the True Count
