Paradise 5 card draw - advice sought

PokerPaul · #1 11-14-2002, 05:39 PM

I love draw games when i play at home with friends, but thats just for quarters.

Never played competitively before. Any strategy advice anyone can lend?

Its tough game because you have absolutely no gauge on other peoples hands caused its all facedown.

For those who dont know the paradise system, it is five players max, and any openers, it is also played limit, which is utterly alien to me [img]/forums/images/icons/frown.gif[/img]

Paul, you may wish to repost this in the "other games" forum and include the information I just put here, sorry I cant be of more help.

i would compare it to lowball in terms of the players you may encounter. in other words, there will be a significant number of expert players that will pick the "home game" crowd clean.

properly played draw is a VERY tight game. i suspect that these games will be VERY loose, and those who choose to play it correctly will make a killing.
