Set of poker rules

Five-card draw (also known as Cantrell draw) is a poker variant that

is considered the simplest variant 1️⃣ of poker, and is the basis for video poker. As a

result, it is often the first variant learned by 1️⃣ new players. It is commonly played in

home games but rarely played in casino and tournament play. The variant is 1️⃣ also offered

by some online venues, although it is not as popular as other variants such as

seven-card stud and 1️⃣ Texas hold 'em.

Gameplay [ edit ]

In casino play the first betting

round begins with the player to the left of 1️⃣ the big blind, and subsequent rounds begin

with the player to the dealer's left. Home games typically use an ante; 1️⃣ the first

betting round begins with the player to the dealer's left, and the second round begins

with the player 1️⃣ who opened the first round.

Play begins with each player being dealt

five cards, one at a time, all face down. 1️⃣ The remaining deck is placed aside, often

protected by placing a chip or other marker on it. Players pick up 1️⃣ the cards and hold

them in their hands, being careful to keep them concealed from the other players, then

a 1️⃣ round of betting occurs.[1]

If more than one player remains after the first round,

the "draw" phase begins. Each player specifies 1️⃣ how many of their cards they wish to

replace and discards them. The deck is retrieved, and each player is 1️⃣ dealt in turn from

the deck the same number of cards they discarded so that each player again has five

1️⃣ cards.

A second "after the draw" betting round occurs beginning with the player to the

dealer's left or else beginning with 1️⃣ the player who opened the first round (the latter

is common when antes are used instead of blinds). This is 1️⃣ followed by a showdown, if

more than one player remains, in which the player with the best hand wins the

1️⃣ pot.

House rules [ edit ]

A common "house rule" in some places is that a player may not

replace more than 1️⃣ three cards, unless they draw four cards while keeping an ace (or

wild card). This rule is useful for low-stakes 1️⃣ social games where many players will

stay for the draw, and will help avoid depletion of the deck. In more 1️⃣ serious games

such as those played in casinos it is unnecessary and generally not used. However, a

rule used by 1️⃣ many casinos is that a player is not allowed to draw five consecutive

cards from the deck. In this case, 1️⃣ if a player wishes to replace all five of their

cards, that player is given four of them in turn, 1️⃣ the other players are given their

draws, and then the dealer returns to that player to give the fifth replacement 1️⃣ card;

if no other player draws it is necessary to deal a burn card first.

Another common

house rule is that 1️⃣ the bottom card of the deck is never given as a replacement, to

avoid the possibility of someone who might 1️⃣ have seen it during the deal using that

information. If the deck is depleted during the draw before all players 1️⃣ have received

their replacements, the last players can receive cards chosen randomly from among those

discarded by previous players. For 1️⃣ example, if the last player to draw wants three

replacements but there are only two cards remaining in the deck, 1️⃣ the dealer gives the

player the one top card he can give, then shuffles together the bottom card of the

1️⃣ deck, the burn card, and the earlier players' discards (but not the player's own

discards), and finally deals two more 1️⃣ replacements to the last player.

Sample deal [

edit ]

The sample deal is being played by four players as shown to 1️⃣ the right with Alice

dealing. All four players anteR$1. Alice deals five cards to each player and places the

deck 1️⃣ aside.

Bob opens the betting round by bettingR$5. Carol folds, David calls, and

Alice calls, closing the betting round.

Bob now declares 1️⃣ that he wishes to replace

three of his cards, so he removes those three cards from his hand and discards 1️⃣ them.

Alice retrieves the deck, deals a burn card, then deals three cards directly to Bob,

who puts them in 1️⃣ his hand. David discards one card, and Alice deals one card to him

from the deck. Alice now discards three 1️⃣ of her own cards, and replaces them with three

from the top of the deck.

Now a second betting round begins. 1️⃣ Bob checks, David checks,

Alice betsR$10, Bob folds, David raisesR$16, and Alice calls, ending the second betting

round and going 1️⃣ directly into a showdown. David shows a flush, and Alice shows two

pair, so David takes the pot.

Stripped deck variant 1️⃣ [ edit ]

Five-card draw is

sometimes played with a stripped deck. This variant is commonly known as "seven-to-ace"

or "ace-to-seven" 1️⃣ (abbreviated as A-7 or 7-A). It can be played by up to five players.

When four or fewer players play, 1️⃣ a normal 32-card deck without jokers, with ranks

ranging from ace to seven, is used. With five players, the sixes 1️⃣ are added to make a

36-card deck. The deck thus contains only eight or nine different card ranks, compared

to 1️⃣ 13 in a standard deck. This affects the probabilities of making specific hands, so a

flush ranks above a full 1️⃣ house and below four of a kind. Many smaller online poker

rooms, such as Boss Media, spread the variant, although 1️⃣ it is unheard of in terrestrial

casinos.
