half the small bet rounded down to the nearest dollar or even denomination
while the Big Blind is equal to the small bet. For example:
- $0.25-$0.50 SB = $0.10 BB = $0.25
- $2.00-$4.00 SB = $1.00 BB = $2.00
- $4.00-$8.00 SB = $2.00 BB = $4.00
- $8.00-$16.00 SB = $4.00 BB = $8.00
Game Description - Blind Games
|
There can be a maximum
of eight players at a 5 Card Draw. There are potentially two betting rounds
for each deal. A button is used in 5-Card Draw to indicate the player for
whom the house dealer is dealing.5 Card Draw uses the button to indicate
the dealer and action starts clockwise on the first betting round (before
cards are drawn.) Action starts clockwise following the dealer button on
the second betting round (after cards are drawn).
On the first betting round, players - acting in turn -- can call the big
blind or other intervening bet, raise, or fold. All bets and raises on the
first betting round are in increments of the lower specified amount (for
instance, $2 in a $2/$4 game). On the second betting round, players - acting
in turn -- can check or bet, if no other player has already bet, or call,
raise, or fold if betting has already occurred. All bets and raises on the
second betting round are in increments of the higher specified amount (for
instance, $4 in a $2/$4 game).
After the initial round of betting, a player can draw up to 5 new cards.
A player can choose to hold 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, or all his cards.
How To Discard
|
To hold a card, move
your cursor over the card you wish to hold and click the mouse. A red "H"
will appear in the lower left corner of the card and the card will slide
downward slightly inrelation to the others. Note when using the disk option
to represent yourself at the table, the "H" indicator may be partially obscured
at times but the card will slide down indicating that it is to be held.
To remove the "Hold" on a card, click on the card again before the draw
and that card will now be discarded.
Betting
|
There are only two
betting rounds in Draw 5. One after the initial five cards are dealt, and
one again after the draw. Each bet and raise before the draw is set at the
lower value of the limit structure. For example in an $8-$16 game, all bets
and raises are $8 for the first round.
Each bet and raise during the last round of betting is set at the higher
limit of the stakes structure. For example in an $8-$16 game, all bets and
raises are $16.
Maximum Bets
The maximum allowable number of bets per player during any particular betting
round is four. This would consist of the opening bet and three raises. Once
the betting limit has been reached, players will have only the option of
calling or folding.
