I'm trying to understand the poker game better. Specifically, I want to know about the 'top 5 rule' in poker. Could someone explain this rule to me or is it a common misconception?

    Once a card is discarded, it is placed face down on the dealer's side of the Wager Area.

    The player is required to utilize solely the five cards dealt to him for constructing his Top 5 Poker hand.

    He cannot incorporate the Community Card into his hand unless he chooses to discard one of his five cards.

    Discarding a card is a necessary step if the player wishes to utilize the Community Card.

    This discarded card is then replaced by the Community Card in the player's Top 5 Poker hand.
