Poker: Five Card Draw

by Masque Publishing
In casino play, the first betting round begins with the player to the left of the big blind, and subsequent rounds begin with the player to the dealer's left. Home games typically use an ante; the first betting round begins with the player to the dealer's left, and the second round begins with the player who opened the first round. Play begins with each player being dealt five cards, one at a time, all face down. The remaining deck is placed aside, often protected by placing a chip or other marker on it. Players pick up the cards and hold them in their hands, being careful to keep them concealed from the other players, then a round of betting occurs. If more than one player remains after the first round, the "draw" phase begins. Each player specifies how many of his cards he wishes to replace, and discards them. The deck is retrieved, and after a burn card is dealt each player is dealt in turn from the deck the same number of cards he discarded so that each player again has five cards. It is important that each player discards the cards he wishes to replace before he takes any replacements, and that he takes the same number of replacements as he discarded. A second "after the draw" betting round occurs beginning with the player to the dealer's left or else beginning with the player who opened the first round (the latter is common when antes are used instead of blinds). This is followed by a showdown if more than one player remains, in which the player with the best hand wins the pot. Hours of high stakes fun whether you're solo, part of a pair, out for a flush, or hosting a full house!

All this fuss over a game.  Ever think it could be your computer?  Mine works fine - find game iw ant to play easy, dont have to sign on with password, can chat all the time.  Dont know what the problem is for the rest of you, but new system is great on my computer.

I to like your new format. I couldn't chat with the old system. Made a few very nice friendships with the change. "Some people just don't like change."

@l_franklin89 you can use the joker to make it whatever you want --like  you get 2Ks and 1 Joker you have 3Ks.  Does that help?

this is so sad , half of what I type actually shows up in this new and improved version ,,, they went to this new and improved version so they could sell video time, during the add for big bucks, ( which no one whatches or listens to ), force the people to take what they don't want!!! the DEMOCRATIC!!! way

@MissyCherokee 

Missy -- sometimes I've found it helps to increase your view.  Like if presently it's at 100% take it to 125%.  Seems to help with the chat for me.  Good Luck!!  I know it's not much fun to play w/o it.

Why do you want to take all  the fun  out  of playing  any of the Casino games?  I used to love playing  but  since you have changed the format  I rarely play..

lol, gamer. probably photo of u. want to find me, check out Ohio, 20 miles west of Cleveland. I'm guessing ur PM, one of the

more dull witted ones. What do u all have against iiyorke? A few players tell me she'll be here in summer. As I told Kay, I'll probably

like her. I hear she is smart as a whip and thoroughly honest. Probably why u seem to hate her so. U have mistaken me for her, well

what can  I say but thanks for the compliment.

Gamer3570096 have no idea who you are. Probably one of the "crazies" using an alternate name. Psychopath would fit anyone of

you  in that group, the proof gamer is signing aka etc. I HAVE told all of u who i am, if not good enough screw it. as I told kay she will

one day die and when she does send me a letter from hell, in the mean time i do not wnat to know she exists, nor anyone else in that group.

Anyone who considers it good sport to destroy the reputationof an otherwise good person is by the very definition a psychopath. You

have found each other, stick together, do whatever it is u do to keep ur otherwise empty lives busy nd leave me the F alone. I have

listened to ur crap since november,  I have had enough. Tell me dont u ever get tired of urselves?  U all went after anothr player

slug, because NUSTART1 A.KA. CATHY A.K.A CatLifeHere, a never married aging,bitter woman persued him for 2yrs. without

sucess, Cathy went so far as to say she was dying, what a sick ploy, what a sick woman. It is appropriate that she be a regular in the group

of "crazies". In closing, let me say to each one of u PMRO, MCADU, CATHY,KAY, WULLand KC, it is both my honer and previlidge

to be disliked by u.

Well, big surprise all, seems the crazies who have all taken up lifetime residence in these rooms, did not care for the comment Iposted yesterday.

Since I arrived they have been accusing me of being a former player. Ihave tried repeatedly to appeal to there sense of reason, little did I realize that was beyond thier scope or ability. They have been crude, base and nasty toward me, and then heve the idiotic gall, to tell me i am causing them problems cause i won't be a happy camper and sit back and tolerate thier crap.well mcadu the wack-a-do, kay the two faced, cathy the insane, wull the married two-timer, please everyone knows abbout you and kay, and kc, the good looking one,too bad he's so screwy, u are

and hve always been wrong about me. I was born as alice as i shall die as alice, if thats not good enough for u, then go to hell-o. I have never played in these rooms as anyone else, so get through ur stupid heads.

Aol and masque please do something about this newly installed format, really, really a bad program  ty.

I see my former request that u simplify program has gone unanswered still. C'mon guys, there has to be something u can do to correct

all these problems, so snap, snap and get to it,ok? While ur at it, there seems to be a few players with a screw loose. Perhaps u can tighten

those up as well. If this proves to be an impossible task, then at least provide them with thier own personal rubber room. Spare the rest

of us from thier constant inanity. TY.

Ok, we the players are ready for this mess that has changed, the games,, the chats, and all about the new way, to be changed to something that can really be played and enjoyed again.  From all the comments, you must clearly see, that no  one likes this new way system.
