Five-card draw (also known as Cantrell draw) is a poker variant that is considered the simplest variant of poker, and 8锔忊儯 is the basis for video poker. As a result, it is often the first variant learned by new players. It 8锔忊儯 is commonly played in home games but rarely played in casino and tournament play. The variant is also offered by 8锔忊儯 some online venues, although it is not as popular as other variants such as seven-card stud and Texas hold 'em.
Gameplay 8锔忊儯 [ edit ]
In casino play the first betting round begins with the player to the left of the big blind, 8锔忊儯 and subsequent rounds begin with the player to the dealer's left. Home games typically use an ante; the first betting 8锔忊儯 round begins with the player to the dealer's left, and the second round begins with the player who opened the 8锔忊儯 first round.
Play begins with each player being dealt five cards, one at a time, all face down. The remaining deck 8锔忊儯 is placed aside, often protected by placing a chip or other marker on it. Players pick up the cards and 8锔忊儯 hold them in their hands, being careful to keep them concealed from the other players, then a round of betting 8锔忊儯 occurs.[1]
If more than one player remains after the first round, the "draw" phase begins. Each player specifies how many of 8锔忊儯 their cards they wish to replace and discards them. The deck is retrieved, and each player is dealt in turn 8锔忊儯 from the deck the same number of cards they discarded so that each player again has five cards.
