To complete this How-To you will need: A standard deck of playing cards Poker chips or money to bet with A group of 2 to 8 players Step 1: Decide betting rules Decide on your betting rules. What will be the ante? Is there a betting limit? Is there a limit to how many times a bet can be raised? If so, what is it? Tip: To keep the game fair, establish a modest limit to prevent players with infinite funds from sweeping the pot with huge bets. To keep the game interesting, increase the limit in the final round of betting. Step 2: Ante up Each player antes up by placing their ante in the middle of the table. Step 3: Choose dealer Choose a dealer. One way to do this is to deal cards around the table face-up. The player to get the highest card is the dealer. Step 4: Deal cards The dealer deals the cards face-down around the table, starting with the player to his or her left and continuing clockwise.

@W0lfster If everyone checks, you get a small pot. People checking all the time? Bet the maximum and act like you have GREAT cards, even if you have poor cards. You can even tell them nicely -“you will lose against my hand”. they will fold. (do NOT show them your hands – ever) Play poker to fool the others to bet into your stronger hand – the ‘check-raise is king. Depends where you sit in relation to the dealer, your cards, your bankroll, your skill, your guts, and YOUR OPPONENTS!

what happens if everyone checks on the first and second betting rounds?
February 24th, 2012 at 2:56 am
@W0lfster thx

@AOZXB
the numbr of cards dont matter, because if a player wants to draw cards 3 cards for example and there are only 2 cards left in the deck, the dealer gives that player the top card but not the other card as the bottom card is never given as a replacement. The dealer shuffles the bottom card with the previous players dicards from drawing and folded hands and deals the next 2 cards to you. :))

@CrowServo3000 but Ive read on Wiki that even in 5 card you burn as well :S what is the standard rules for 5 card? burn or not burn?
February 24th, 2012 at 4:58 am
standard rules say you can only swap once
February 24th, 2012 at 5:07 am
my friend’s rules are that you can swap 1, 2, or 3 cards for the same amount of cards from the top of the deck but you can swap twice with the same hand. are we supposed to just swap once or does anyone else do this?

@W0lfster draw poker is different than holdem and community card style games
February 24th, 2012 at 6:25 am
I dont understand when it comes to the draw phase, I thought the dealer was meant to burn a card before handing out replacements, hmmmmmmmmm
