Rules of 5CARD DRAW -Poker

5Card Draw (5CD, Five Card Draw, matching poker) is a poker, where you have two rounds, when you have to bid. The goal of this game is to assemble possibly the best 5- cards combination to win a pool. There can be 2 to 6 players taking part in the game.

The player, who deals cards, got the name dealer. Two players sitting left on the dealer bet on entering stakes, in this example a Small Blind and a Big Blind. These stakes usually do not change during the game.  These stakes are also especially signed, for example the sign $0,25/$0,50 means that you are going to play by the table where the SB comes to 25 cents and the BB comes to 50 cents.

Further, each of the players gets 5 cards, which other players cannot check, so that nobody knows what cards his partner has. These cards are called „hole cards” or “pocket cards”.  The player, who sits left on the BB, opens a bid. He can fold, call, or raise. A bid is carried on clockwise. Dependently on the bet’s structure in the game (Limit, Pot-Limit), players can rise in this bid maximum to BB (when it is a Limit game) or minimum BB to the maximum of pool (in the Pot-Limit game).  

After completing the first bid, every player can change as many cards of his as he wants. After completing this process (not everybody has to change his cards), the second round of the first bid takes place. When the changing is finished, everybody can see how many cards have changed other players.

The second stage in the game is the second bid. A person sitting on the left from the dealer starts the round. Just like in the case of the first round, the player can fold, wait, or enter. The bid goes clockwise. In the second round, the minimum of raise is a double value of BB.

If in the last round of a bid, only one player does not fold, and all the others do, he wins the pool. Otherwise, all players show down their cards. The first player, who has to show down his cards, is the one, who as a last one has raised a bet. Then the showdown is carried out clockwise. Every player can show his cards, but he does not have to („muck”). The one with the highest cards’ combination wins the pool. If two players have both the best combinations, they have to share the prize.

After finishing the round, the person on the left from the dealer adopts his role, and the next round starts.
