I've literally just started playing 5 card and I'm finding it extremely fun and although the player pool is small it seems to be growing in popularity from what I've read on it. So far I'm slightly up and I'm seriously considering studying and giving this format most of my intention.

Thank U 4 Posting

5 card is an old school fun game but will never grow very big as NL offers weaker players more of a chance for excitement.

So if you want to have fun dive in. If you can find a cash game that has whales in it sure focus on it. If however you want to make money at poker you have to go where the money is. Either NL or mixed games if you can manage to get into the millionaire mixed games.

Hope this helps

What game I learned around the kitchen table about 40 plus years ago. Been long time since playing that game. Always a fun game for sure.

The old "Wild West"- games 5-card draw poker and also 5-card stud was almost the only games that were played when I grow up.

Some of the reasons other games have taken over are that in 5-card stud there is to much information given.

In 5-card draw it is the opposite: to little information given. Or at least very little.

5-card draw is a great game for bluffing for the above reason.

Used to love it as a child. Not so much now.

Even though my focus is holdem ,thats one thing i miss about not being able to play on stars is the variety of poker games, 8game etc..

There is a great site out there SWC (formerly Seals with clubs) that offers / used to offer alot of these games, freerolls too.

5-card draw is the basic discipline that gave birth to all modern games. I like playing 5-card draw poker, it is interesting and fun.

Good Morning

I don't like this mode, I really prefer texas holdem.

By the way is the only mode I play.

In my opinion 5 card draw is much more gambling than holdem because there are no community cards involved. I play it sometimes but only for pure fun with friends and usually when we are drunk.

By far I prefer NLH to all other games (Omaha Hi Low is a distant second). However when I get together for "dealers choice" with friends who are occasional players I will play 5 draw, 5 stud, 7 stud, baseball, and even no peek! Now that's a game of luck!

I play but only freerolls . Sometimes it works . But it's harder to play than hold'em . There are more options and it is much more difficult to calculate .

no, I haven’t played such a game for a long time, I prefer simple Hold'em and Omaha, I know the rules and can play 5 card draws, but I haven’t played for a long time, thanks for reminding me of such a game, it’s a very interesting game and I need to try to find it and play Thank you and good luck in your games!

I play all kinds of poker. I advise you to try Badugi. This is a great skill and interesting game.

Loved playing 5 card draw was the second game I learned how to play and has been said by others that loooooong time ago don't know of any sites where I actually can play that game .... or I would still probably ... but that and 5 stud were what we played when I was a kid growing up .... more recently I learned to like Badugi but also hard to find a game and none of those games are found at my local casinos either so I stick to NLHE mostly but play a 7 stud game in a private game here near home ...
