Five-Card Draw Dealing: The Draw

Video Transcript

"Ok, so we have dealt our hand of five card draw and we've had our first round of betting and now it's the draw. How does that work? Well the player to the dealers left decides what to keep and what to throw away. Look at this hand, there's three to a flush, there's a club, a club and a club. Well, there's also a pair of kings. You're in good stead if you keep the kings and that ace, right there, and throw away this jack and this five. That goes into the muck. Two cards, to dealers left. Lets look at this hand; we'll call it your hand. There's not a ton going on but you got in cheaply, for the draw, so go ahead and keep this ace and ten of spades and throw away these three cards. One, two, three. Then, to your left is a player with a pair of three's and a couple of high cards. Keep the three's, don't play for the flush here. You take two, this player takes two and then here's my hand. I pretty much have junk, so because I have junk, I'm actually going to play the long shot for the flush. I take two cards, hope they're both spades. What happens next, we'll get to that in a bit. The next segment is actually about a special rule."
