Tournament Strategies
After receiving pocket cards, you are immediately faced with a choice: play your cards and either raise or call the blinds, or fold.
Practice Matters
Spanish Draw Poker
Spanish Draw Poker This variant of standard Draw Poker is played the same as ours, and all the rules that apply to standard Draw Poker apply to European, or Spanish, Draw Poker, with the following exceptions: 1. In Spanish there are from two to five players; four make the best game. 2. A 32-card deck is used, made by stripping out twos, threes, fours, fives and sixes. 3. If there are not sufficient cards to satisfy each player's draw, the discards are picked up, shuffled and cut, and the draw continues.
Canadian Draw Poker
Canadian Draw Poker Canadian Draw Poker is played like the standard game of Draw Poker with the following exceptions: A player may open on a four-card straight or a four-card flush, and on the showdown a four-card straight or flush beats a pair, not two pairs or better, and a four-card flush beats a four-card straight.
