Five-Card Draw

Five-Card Draw is most commonly a home played game that most people learn before other games such as Texas Hold'em. Five-Card Draw features the dealer button, blind bets and clockwise action of Hold'em.

Once the blinds have been posted, each player is then dealt five cards face down. As in Hold'em, each player would now need to call to match the blind bets if they wish to stay in the round.

Each player will now decide if they would like to discard any cards in their hand. If a player sees potential for a strong hand it is wise for them to discard any unrelated cards at this time. The dealer would then redeal new cards to replace the number of cards that were thrown away.

One each player is dealt their replacement cards a showdown would occur where the top hand would take the pot.
