The method of the present invention involves a card game in which one or two rows of cards are dealt to a player. The player makes a wager to elect to play one or more sub-hands to be constructed from the one or two rows of cards dealt. In the basic game, sub-hands are constructed column-by-column whereby in a first column, a player selects none or one of the cards from the first column of the at least two rows of dealt cards for entry into a first sub-hand. The process is repeated for further elected sub-hands whereby the selection process is independent in each sub-hand. Additional cards are dealt from the deck for non-selected positions in the elected sub-hands. The poker hand ranking of each sub-hand is determined. The player is then paid for any winning poker hands based on a predetermined ranking table and the amount of the player's wager. In alternative versions of the game, when two rows of cards are dealt, the two rows may have a different number of cards; sub-hands may be constructed by means other than column-by-column; a player is given the option to interchange cards from the one or two rows with replacement cards.
