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.
