California Lowball Dealing: The Draw

Video Transcript

"So, it's time to discuss the draw in California lo-ball. I want you to please look at this hand. I've laid it out from the lowest card, to the highest, so ace is played low here, so what you're going to do, is you're going to decide what card you want to get rid of. Well, an eight- low can win, so I say keep the eight, and throw away the king, so you're going to ask for one card, so what are we doing here? This person is going to ask for three. I give them three cards. You're asking for one, one card for you. This player says ew, yuck, but I'll ask for two, so two cards to him, and then what do I want? I want a whole new hand, but I'll go ahead and take three cards, one, two, three, and that's that. That's the draw portion of California low-ball and we will discuss the rest in the next segment."
