time, each followed by a round of betting. Showdowns are not as
frequent as in other poker variants with many hands ending when a bidder
gets no calls.
5 card draw is not likely to be seen in a casino. The first
poker games some people played was draw poker. It was a favorite
for home games and private poker tables for a long time. Each
player is dealt 5 cards - all face down - one at a time in a continuous
clockwise deal until all players have their 5 cards. A betting
round usually takes place before the draw, then each player can "trade
in" 1 to 3 cards or none at all. A player who draws no cards is
said to have a "pat hand". House rules usually set the ante - the
ante being an agreed upon amount that is placed in the pot before any
cards are dealt. Also the maximum bet is usually agreed upon
before the game starts. A common house rule is to allow a player
to draw 4 cards if they have an Ace and are required to show the Ace
prior to the 4 card draw.
