Draw 5 Poker
Draw 5 is one of the most popular kitchen table
poker games around. It is the poker games in many places. You can also play it on the net.
The problem is, you can't play it at very many places on the net.
Strangely, very few places deal hands of 5 Card Draw. I guess the
World Series of Poker has gotten everyone on the Texas Hold'em kick.
The game is played by dealing evey player a hand of five cards. All the
cards are dealt at once, and none of them are dealt face up. Every person at the table holds a
hand that only he/she knows the contents of, so you'll be betting against unknown cards in this
game.
After the cards are dealt, a round of betting takes place. After the betting,
players have a chance to replace cards in their hand, just as you do in a video poker game. You
may choose to replace as many cards as you wish.
Once you have replaced the weak cards in your hand, you have your final hand.
Now, the last round of betting begins. After this final round of betting, the player with the highest
hand wins the pot.
