5 card draw is a simple poker game that can be very fun at times. Here are some tips to winning at the game.
1. Don't Go for Strait Draws
I know when you get a hand like Ace234J you are tempted to discard the Jack and hope with all your luck that a 5 comes up. This rarely ever happens and when you think about it you only have a 1/13 chance of getting it.
2. Fold with Bad Hands
When you have no pair, no draw, or nothing that you can reasonably see happening without a whole lot of luck don't call it. 5 card draw is a game where people normally have something so don't try going up against other people unless you have a hand.
3. Pay attention to your opponent's draw
You get 1 draw in this game and that can tell you a lot about what an opponent has.
a. If they draw 3 it means they have either a pair or lower hoping to get either a 3 of a kind or hit one of the high cards they have. Most people will draw 3.
b. If they draw 2 then you might be in trouble. The main reason someone would draw 2 cards is because they have 3 of a kind. So if someone drew 2 and then raised you probably don't want to go against it with your 2 pair. But be careful someone might just draw 2 to make you think they have a 3 of a kind.
c. If they draw 1 they either have 2 pair or they are going for a draw. If someone draws 1 and then checks they probably missed their draw.
