Standard rule is you cannot fold at any point. You must ante each round. Of course you can modify this. Maybe say you can bail out at end of any deal. (If you let people bail after they see two cards, it can kill the action.) In any case it is usually worth anteing to have an interest in a pot someone else put in there.


The declare is not simultaneous. It starts at the dealer's left. (Of cousre the deal rotates.) You could do it simultaneously, but cyclically is more interesting. Obviously early position is a disadvantage, but this evens out as the deal rotates.


I don't think it is worth being IN on 2 cards, just to see the other hands.
