5 Card Draw


I am going to try my hand at 5 Card Draw on PokerStars. Minty had a link to Michael Wiesenberg's Draw Poker Strategy article. You can find it here at Ready Bet Go.

Michael Wiesenberg made his living playing poker for 10 years before turning to a career as a writer. His books include 'Free Money: How to Win in the Cardrooms of California'; 'The Dictonary of Poker', and 'The Ultimate Casino Guide. I am going to study this strategy and see if I can't apply it and, hopefully, win some money.

I like to play different games of poker and, to me, the games that are farthest from Hold'em are easier for me. I think that is why I like RAZZ. It is totally different from Hold'em but you still have to know the Theory of Poker to be successful. I'm going to give 5 Card Draw a try and see if it can't be +EV for me.

Goodluck with that. Just stick to the strategy, and don't get cocky and start three-tabling... I'll be starting to build myself back up shortly from a couple of stupid, stupid sessions...

I thoroughly enjoy 5-card draw on PokerStars. It's a nice change of pace game. I find that I can regularly get ahead in that game. Sometimes I wonder why I don't just drop Holdem altogether and play just 5-draw. If you follow the strategy found in the Brunson Super System II book you'll do fine. It's surprising how often you see players who simply don't understand which hands they should fold.
