The Luck Of The Draw

Autumn is in full swing here in Europe, so it's the perfect time to stay at home and play poker all weekend long... Draw games, for example. This is a form of poker where players have the opportunity to replace any of the cards in their hand by drawing new cards from the deck. A great alternative whenever the usual no-limit hold 'em gets boring... Full Tilt Poker offers now five variants: 2-7 Triple Draw, 2-7 Single Draw, A-5 Triple Draw, Badugi and 5-Card Draw.

Pot limit 5-Card Draw (6 max) is my personal favorite.

Although it's really old school, pot limit makes it fresh, exciting and easy to get all the chips in the middle fast...
As with Hold 'em, the goal in 5-Card Draw is to make the best five-card high hand. Once the blinds are posted, players are dealt five pocket cards, followed by the first round of betting. Then players have the chance to discard any or all of the cards in their hand and replace them by drawing new ones. After the draw, a final round of betting takes place, followed by a showdown to determine who wins the pot. That's it! Enjoying a few beers while playing any draw games will enhance the 'old skool' experience and make you appreciate the true beauty of these games even more...

But if you're somehow still reluctant to put money on the line in drawing games, Full Tilt Sit & Go Madness is back this weekend (November 5th 'till November 7th). Super turbo's are now included in the Madness, so you can play a ton of games easily and maximize you're chances to win a fair share of $150K in cash and Madness prizes...

Never mind the grey and dull autumn weather,
Full Tilt Poker is the place to be.
