Hello.
why such big poker rooms as Full Tilt and pokerstars dont support five card poker?
is there any poker rooms that does?
it's seems weird to me, there is badugi in pokerstars which in my opinion less popular then five card draw poker.
:confused:

Stars has 5 card draw. Under Other Games, where the Badugi is, select "Draw" and it is there along with single and triple draw 2-7.

I also dislike 5 card draw. I know pokerroom.com has it. Also, it's a fun game to play sometimes, but I think it's one of the more luck based games too. Haha, I'd love to sit at a table with lots of money, get dealt something like ace-2-5-6-King. I then raise HARD. Time to ask for cards, I say "none". I then go all in. Rofl, everyone probably folds since worst hand I should have is straight. I turn over my cards, get up, and walk away without a sound.

Mostly it's been said above - Stars does offer five card draw, not sure why Full Tilt doesn't. Except that it'd mean a major software upgrade, and if not many people are asking for it I guess they can't be bothered with the expense. I'd like to see deuce-seven on there personally, but I know I'm in the minority.

Only really wanted to add one thing, with regard to Badugi: I think you'll find it's actually a lot more popular than five card draw these days.

yeah well after a year of begging poker stars and sending emails and asking other people to send it, they finally put up 5 card draw, now the only problem is its real late at night or at very early in the morning, matter of fact thanks for reminding me, they have a game in 30 minutes, but I cant stay up all night, it will be at 1 AM.
