| Draw Poker is the basic form
of Poker and the place to start when introducing
new players to the game. It's fairly uncommon
these days in the casinos, but it is the form from
which all other Poker games are derived.
The essence of Draw Poker is that the player
builds a hand from 5 cards. After the initial
round of betting the player may discard some or
all of their cards and receive replacements. The
players cards should never be revealed until the
final Showdown, and are only then if absolutely
necessary (more on that later). During the game,
all cards are dealt and discarded face down.
There are two main things to learn when it
comes to Draw Poker. The first is Poker's 5-card
hands and their ranking. The second is the course
of play including when and how to bet.
