Betting structure
5-Card Draw is played with two blinds, a small blind and a big blind. A blind is a forced bet that two players have to post before the initial cards are dealt. The betting structures available for 5-Card Draw are Limit, Pot-Limit and No-Limit.
The play
- The blinds are posted by the two players to the left of the dealer. The dealer is indicated by a round white button with the letter ”D” in front of the player. The dealer button moves clockwise around the table after each hand.
- After posting the blinds each player is dealt five cards face down. These cards can only be seen by the player who receives them.
- The first round of betting starts with the player to the left of the big blind.
- Once the first round of betting has completed, the draw round begins with the player to the left of the dealer. Each remaining player is given the opportunity to change 0-5 cards.
- The second and last round of betting starts with the player to the left of the dealer.
- Showdown – The player with the best hand wins the pot. If two or more players have the best hand they will split the pot.
