Five-card draw: This game starts with players placing an ante to the pot. After betting, they can view their cards. Each player has the option to discard up to three cards, and then take new ones from the top of the deck. After this, a new round of betting occurs. The winner is the player who reaches nine points. If the other players fold, they lose all their money. If the players have the same number of points, the pot is split evenly among all the players.

Bluffing: A strategy that can be used to win a hand is to bluff another player and raise his bet. If you’re bluffing, you can raise your bet if you don’t have an Ace in your hand. In this strategy, you can’t lose, but you have to raise your bets regularly. Unless you’re banned from doing so, you should follow the rules of poker to maximize your winnings.
