Draw poker

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Draw Poker was the preferred variant of poker in the Wild West . When Wild Bill Hickok held a hand with aces and eights, he was shot on his back and this hand has been called Dead Man's Hand ever since .

Draw poker , more rarely also called closed or hidden poker , has long been the best-known variant of the card game poker , but has been largely replaced by variants with open cards in casinos, tournaments and online poker. It is still widespread as a leisure game for entertainment ( home games ). It is characterized by playing with completely covered cards and thus a strong psychological component.

To Draw Poker include all variants in which the player a certain number of cards, usually five, receive, and from a hand must form. He also has the option of exchanging certain cards.
