Draw games

In draw poker, every card is dealt face down. After a round of betting, players may discard cards and draw replacements to improve their hand. Five Card Draw is the classic home game; lowball draw games such as 2-7 Triple Draw and Badugi are played in cardrooms and mixed-game rotations.
