5 CARD DRAW......

There are two wagering rounds in a complete game of Five Card Draw, not including the ante. The dealer deals five clockwise rounds giving each player a single card down during each round. Wagering begins with the first player to the left of the dealer. This player may Check (no wager) or Bet. If this player Checks each player clockwise has the same opportunity to Check or Bet. If any player Bets, each player clockwise may either Fold (remove themselves from the hand), Call (equal the wager that has been placed, or Raise (increase the original wager). If any one Raises a Bet, each person thereafter will have the same opportunity to Fold, Call, or Raise. The number or Raises are predetermined at the beginning of the game. After all wagers have been made, active players may draw to their hands. Starting with the first active player to the dealers left, each player in turn may discard up to three cards and receive a same amount from the dealer. The second round of wagering begins with the player who started the first round of wagering and proceeds as per the first round. After the second round of wagering, its time for the Showdown. The player with the highest hand is declared the winner. If any time during player no one calls a Bet, the Bettor wins and does not have to show his hand.

The best starting hand on 5 card draw is......

i saw this and thought id share it :-D

5 Card draw is believed to be the oldest form of the card game we call stud.

This originated during the American Civil War.

In the 5 card stud, the betting limits are similar to that of the 7 Stud. Even the Buy-In, Bankroll, The Ante and the Deal resemble the ones that are in the 7 Stud game. The 5 card stud is usually played as a social game.

By giving each player two cards, the round is opened. Among the two cards, one will be a ‘hole card or a hidden one' and the second will be a ‘door card or an open card'.

The standard one is the low card opening. But at the same time a high card can also be opened.

This will go on and the Third Street finds its way, where it is dealt as an open card. The betting takes place in the same way as in 7 Card Stud's Third Street play which involves low limit bets.

The Fourth Street is another card which is open and, even this is similar to the 7 Stud's Fifth and Sixth Street which will have High Limit bets.

The Fifth Street in the 5 Card Stud is the final card which will also be an open card. The betting takes place as in 7 Stud's Seventh Street i.e., High Limit bets.

There's a real problem with traditional 5 Card Stud. With only one pocket card there's not much doubt as to what a player is holding. Furthermore, since there are only 5 cards per player and no discards, most hands are going to be pretty low, mostly pairs and high cards.

At least in Draw Poker the player gets a chance to improve their hand by drawing new cards. Not so in 5 Stud: you're stuck with what you get and the other players can see most of that.

The end result? Players with even basic play experience will read the cards fast and early. They'll either drop or be going for the pot and it's tough to drag anyone but a novice along for the latter streets. Bottom line is it's a slow game for anything but social events and "friendly" play

The steps involved in the 5 Card Stud game are:

Each player places his/her stake or ante into the pot. The ante is the small bet that each player must contribute in the game which will be in the pot.

Each player is given 5 cards.

The player who is in the left to the dealer has to either bet or pass first. If the player passes, then the player next to him/her should bet. It is left to the second player as to whether he too, will bet or pass it again to the next player.

If every player passes, all the cards are gathered and again the players who have passed will have to place the ante again and will deal a fresh hand.

Then the players may either, call, raise or fold after a hand is opened by a
player by betting.

The surviving players are given chance to exchange some cards from the deck's top.

After exchanging or staying, another round of betting is started.

The players who have not folded will have to show their hands after the betting
round.

The player with highest hand will be the owner of the poker chips that the pot will have in it.

As 5 Card draw can become a little predictable and drag on a little often a little deviation from the standard rules creates a more exciting game. Using 2 hole cards makes for a better game because it is not as easy to read another players hand. There is a little more uncertainty and flexability within the hands.

Sometimes it's first and last card, sometimes the two opening cards with the player on the dealer's left opening the bets.

In the end these variations are simply attempts to add a little suspense. The hands are still going to be low. And the extra pocket card just allows for a little more bluffing and the possibility of far better pots. The fact that even these variations only appear in social games tells the same story as before: 5 Card Stud has left the building.
