222
Top
A type of draw poker. In this particular game each player is allowed two draws of up to two cards. An ante is put up by each player, then five cards are dealt to each player. A round of betting ensues and each player can throw away up to two cards. Another round of betting ensues and the second draw of up to two cards is done. Now each player uses their five cards to make their best possible poker hand. There is one last round of betting and the best hand wins the pot. Also, all 2s in the deck are to be used as wildcards.
SoundPoker Says: This is a draw game with wild cards so you'll never find it played in a casino. Stakes can be as high or as low as you like. The ideal number of players ranges from 5 to 7.

Year 222 (CCXXII) was a common year starting on Tuesday (link will display the full calendar) of the Julian calendar. At the time, it was known as the Year of the Consulship of Antoninus and Severus (or, less frequently, year 975 Ab urbe condita). The denomination 222 for this year has been used since the early medieval period, when the Anno Domini calendar era became the prevalent method in Europe for naming years.
