Now I can properly teach my underage classmates to gamble in class! Great video

I have played 5 card draw every Thursday night since the 1970s! Love this game! Can't set enough of it!

To me, this will always be poker. I was playing this game when I was like 5 or 6, and I was able to win probably more times than not. I remember playing my older brother in one game, drew a decent first hand, laid down three cards, and miraculously picked up a full house…pissed off my brother. He slammed down his cards and swore that I was cheating. This: By miracles in this game, that is how people got shot when playing it in the old west. 😂❤️

Its hard to believe this channel only have 1.35k subs. That was an amazing tutorial for an amazing game, and this guy is so charismatic! Congratulations for your job and keep doing it like that. Greetings from México

I'm writing a western and had no idea about playing this one, while I'm familiar with other forms of Poker. This was super helpful and informative. I can't believe how little subs you have, this channel is GOLD! Subbed and will be sharing with all my friends

This is my favorite card game My favorite poker variant Thank you Greetings from chile

Fantastic tutorial. Really clearly explained with a charismatic presenter. Thanks Dominic!

Thank you! Finally some one just explains everything in basic terms (not expecting we know things already). I was confused about how the betting works. (when and why). I really appreciate it. A++

Currently learning poker and found this tutorial particularly excellent - thank you

I'm just really learning how to play the game of Poker! I think Poker is the best card game of them all. Especially 5 Card Draw. Because like the Tutor just said: 5 Card Draw is really a game of intuition and a bit of luck. And on top of that, it's a really fun game to play! I appreciate how the Tutor explains the history of the game too, going back to the days of Wild Bill Hickock. And how easy he makes it to understand how to play the game. I'm ready to play now. Thanks! Dominic. You're the best.

Can’t wait to popularize poker at my school! Our school will be so distinguished by being “that one school where everyone is obsessed with poker!”

This is great. Best explanation I've seen so far.

Wow, I loved this tutorial!

You are the Legend, i love your video's and your explanation :)

This was so helpful!! Thank you

Amazing video! I'm gonna play with my friends today and I was completely lost before watching this

Barely started to take an interest in poker this Christmas, thanks for the informative video

Great awesome, and easy to understanding video, bro. Greetings.

Hello ACG & Dominic😀😃, When Poker was widely introduced to Iranian people in about 60 or 70 years ago, this version of poker game: the 5 cards draw became so popular. It still is popular and its popularity in Iranian community caused it to be given a new name: “Iranian Poker” to be distinguished from other versions of poker game.

Great tutorial, but I'm curious about the first hand you talk about. Because that's a royal flush if I'm not mistaken, unless you wanted to unify royal and straight. Just a detail, great material!.

Great video, time to go out and make my millions!

عالی وزیبا. دوست‌داشتنی

Nice tutorial

Great video, but it seems at 7:07 you say player can only "check or bet. Those are the only 2 options". Can they not indeed fold as well as you show later in the video? That was just a little confusing.

I play it with my underage sons and it is a real fun game while for example Texas Hold'em is kind of hard and boring for my kids this one is really funny for them.

Yes yes….. This can be played numerous ways….. No Limit…. Pot Limit… Limit or fixed Limit….. And 3 common blinds bet styles. Antee’s 1 fee for all players taking part. Usually 100-200 minimum bets. $1 dollar antee game minimum buy in $100-$200. Blinds 100-200Big blinds $1/$2 blinds games $200/$400 minimum Buy In. Or both blinds with a small Antee. $1/$2 blinds with a 50c antee rest of players still have to play. 2 How I roughly decided how many raises and or cards can be swapped. I’d usually put a lot the playing cards between a 3-5 into a short deck. And then ask someone to draw one card of the mini deck. They pick out a 3 the rules for the night are a 3 card swap limit. Also as with how many times you can raise I’d pick the same all cards between 3-5 are kept and one card is picked you pick 5 for example 1 bet and 5 raises per round limit. 3-4-5 cards you can swap randomly decide…… 3-4-5 raises after the first bet you decide. General tips….. 1. If you need to swap more than 3 cards you might aswell fold!!!! 2. Focus on your odds and pot odds….. 50/60% of the time your hands will be garbage ect. No pair, pairs are quite common. 3. Bluffing this man says this game is more of. I agree but will say unless you got a super good hands in this game like a straight or higher don’t bluff or over bet a lot. It’s a big gamble….. Bluffing only works if you rarely do it and do it wisely. Think in terms of outs…… 52 cards - 5 cards is 47 cards left unseen. Needing 1 specific card 1 out of 47 cards == 1/47 as a percent is 2.1% 1/47 Or 2.1% 4/47 Or 8.5% 7/47 or 14.8% 9/47 Or 19.1% 10/47 Or 21.1% Need one Card to make a flush a specific one. 1 card out of 47 cards that haven’t been seen yet? Roughy 2.1% of getting It. General rules and guidelines….. 3-5 Card swap limit pick between 3-5 Cards 3-5 raises per round pick how many times per round. It can be played between 2-8 players. When discarding cards, you swap 3-5 cards whatever the rules are in the specific game. You keep your cards you want to swap to a pile on your left and right and shuffle and deal out of the pile that you didn’t put aside. You want to swap 3 cards. You keep your 3 cards to your side and shuffle the deck and ur cards. If you run out of original deck when it’s depleted you take others short pile. Bottom rule is you use the deck until it’s depleted and then you take the other players discard pile and Shuffle then deal them. Never put your discarded cards back into the original deck or pile of cards this is Prevent you getting dealt the same again.

How many cards can be changed at most?

I've played a variation where you have to buy your substituted cards, any idea what it's called?

Whatsup Dominic!

I'm lucky enough to have a electronic handheld 5 card draw poker game

Are the most traditional rules for this game only allow a maximum of 3 cards you can replace? Regardless if you have an ace or not? Are you meant to burn a card before dishing out replacements as the dealer? Thanks.

2:30 "last but NOT least"... high card is last AND least as far as hand rankings. 10:00 Open ended straight draw with 3 connected cards drawing 2, or inside straight draw with 4 cards drawing one. I would have folded with the $5 raise, but staying in the hand, I would have traded one card in hopes of a gut shot 8 for the straight.

I thought Burt Reynolds was in the thumbnail

What about the wild cards you were talking about? What other things does the aces do?

What about the jacks or better? You know, when you can bett only of you have a pair of jacks or a better hand.

Just a query! At a time, maximum how many players can play this 5 card draw?

i played 5 card video poker on scarface the world is yours and i found interest in the game, but i would never play for real money

Help please! Is this variant of poker original? You are dealt 5 cards, if you are in, instead of discarding, you receive 3 additional cards, and you make your best 5 card hand from these 8. No communal cards. What is this variant of poker called? We've been calling it "f*ckers" for years now.

If you already discard some cards already, you can't do it again right?

They also call this 5 card Texas hold ‘em

If I had 3 aces 1 queen and 1 5 how come I lost to a hand that was king high he had nothing

check, call, raise or fold? every tutorial here on you tube assume's people know the meaning of it! when one player in his example had to fold he said "the money is good!" wtf does that mean????????????

tbh i find 5 card draw more entertaining than texas hold em idk maybe its just me

Here because of Celentano😂

The host looks a little dorky but after listening to him and watching video.. he seems like a really cool guy to be honest.

fullhouse doesn't beat the flush in 5 card draw/italian poker

hundreds of years?

8:25 player 3 has a gunshot straight homie, not open ended. Why did you throw away the 7 at 10:03

No royal flush?

You missed The best hand possible, a Royal Flush

The only thing that my father ever did with my brothers and I was play poker. He started me at about five years old and I've been playing ever since. The games were this one...five card draw, and my favorite, five card stud. They are still my favorite games and I would play them every day if I could find a game somewhere. My least favorite games...note that I don't call them "poker"...are Omaha and Texas Hold Em. These "Cowpoke Bingo" or "Redneck Roulette" abominations punish good, solid players and reward morons, imbeciles, and idiots. Give me $5-$10-$20 Five Card Stud any and every day of the week. $5 to ante, $10 for the first two bets ("streets"), and $20 for the last two. And to make it profitable for the casinos, 10 players can play Five Card Stud. If I can't find a Stud hand, I'll take draw poker at the same stakes.
