Ace to Five Triple Draw

Ace to Five Triple Draw is played exactly like Deuce to Seven Triple Draw, except the rank of the hands is different.

This means that the best possible hand you can have is . This is called "The Wheel". is the next best hand, etc.

Ace to Five Triple Draw uses the same betting structure as Texas Hold'em. During the first two betting rounds, the limit is the small bet.

Of course you can also play the Pot Limit or No Limit variation.

Round 1: the Blinds

All players place a blind bet. This is just like Texas Hold'em, divided between the small blind and the big blind. Each player gets his turn because the button goes clockwise.
