5 Card Draw

In 5 Card Draw poker, each player is dealt five cards face down. After the deal, a betting round occurs. After the betting round, beginning with the player on the dealer’s left, a player may discard one or more cards, and the dealer then deals her hand from the deck as many cards as she has discarded (the draw).

A player does not have to draw and can stay ‘pat’. After the draw, there is another betting round, followed by the show of hands. Some games limit the number of cards that can be drawn, some not.
