In Draw Poker, players are dealt a complete hand before the first betting round and can then choose to discard and replace a certain number of cards in an attempt to strengthen their hand. This discard and draw process typically occurs after the initial betting round, followed by another round of betting. The goal is to form the strongest possible hand by improving through the draw phase, adding a layer of strategy based on which cards to keep or exchange.
Draw Poker Example
For example, in a five-card draw game, a player might be dealt four cards of one suit and one unrelated card. They can choose to discard the odd card in the hope of drawing another card of the same suit to complete a flush.
