5 card draw
Draw
Players: 3-7
Initial Deal: 5 cards dealt down to each player.
Betting: Ante if wanted.
After the Initial deal betting begins with the player to the left of the dealer. For most betting I recommend the initial bet and 3 raises maximum. Bet and raise amounts equal to the ante. This keeps the betting under control.
