5 Card Draw = Fun
I just played a mini-session of $1/$2 5 card draw. Here was my first hand out of the BB.
Table 'Essen': $1-$2 Limit 5D (Real)
Seat 0: Hero ($60 in chips)
Seat 2: wottawa1103 ($18 in chips)
Seat 3: Predsgm ($15 in chips)
Seat 6: BSBEME ($48.30 in chips) (on the button)
Seat 8: Jensap ($12.60 in chips)

Dealt to Hero: 10d
Dealt to Hero: As
Dealt to Hero: Js
Dealt to Hero: 10s
Jensap : Post Blind ($0.50)
Hero : Post Blind ($1)
*** First betting round *** :
Dealt to Hero: Qs
wottawa1103 : Fold
Predsgm : Fold
BSBEME : Call ($1)
Jensap : Call ($0.50)
Hero : Check
*** Second betting round *** :

*** SUMMARY ***
Pot: $4.90 | Rake: $0.10
Board: [ ]
Hero bet $3, collected $4.90, net $1.90
wottawa1103 lost $0
Predsgm lost $0
BSBEME lost $1
Jensap lost $1
As a side note, I really have no idea what I'm doing in this game. I really need to start reading more about it, as this seems like it could be a profitable and fun game. There seem to be a few people who are decent, but the rest are just complete dopes. There was a guy in the game I just played who insisted on jamming the pot before the draw with any come hand. Needless to say, you probably shouldn't be limp-raising people with a Q-high gutshot or capping in a 3-way pot with a 2 paints and a 4-flush. These hand histories kinda suck, but the other guy in the pot had 2 small pair I think.

*** SUMMARY ***
Pot: $18 | Rake: $1
Board: [ ]
Hero bet $6, collected $18, net $12 Shows [ As Jh Ad 7c 7h ] (two pairs, Aces and sevens)
wottawa1103 lost $6
Predsgm lost $1
BSBEME lost $6 Shows [ 4s Qs Ks 3s 3d ] (a pair of threes)
Jensap lost $0
Then there're the other people who won't bet before the draw without Aces or better and won't bet after the draw without Aces up or better, no matter what the situation. Some guy just limped from the SB with QQ and checked into me after the draw. Maybe this is a bluff-inducing play or something. It just seems like he should raise before the draw, then check-call post draw to try to catch my bluffs. Surely putting even money in on a raise pre-draw against a single opponent (who has a random hand) is a winning proposition. But what the hell do I know.
All I know is this -- 5-draw is the only form of poker that made me money today. Screw you, Hold'em.
