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