    Are there any poker rooms offering 5-card Draw? This is my favourite type of poker - I'm sure this is true of the majority of people in the UK at least - and yet I am unable to find a single poker room offering 5 card draw.

    There must be a massive gap in the market for poker rooms that offer 5-card draw, or at least games other than the usual Texas Hold Em, Omaha Hi / Lo Stud variations, that you see at the majority of poker rooms on the net today. :evil:

    If anyone knows of a poker room offering 5 Card Draw, let me know!

    Thanks
    Monkey

    Hello, Monkey and welcome to the Gambling.co.uk network.

    Yes, it is quite rare to find a Poker Room offering 5 card draw. Most rooms seem to offer Texas Hold 'Em with a couple of other games (Stud and Omaha).

    However, we have found one room offering 5-card draw - Paradise Poker (www.paradisepoker.com. They also offer 5 and 7 card Stud, Texas Hold 'Em, Omaha, Omaha Hi / Lo, 7 card stud Hi / Lo and Pineapple.

    This must be the widest range of games we've seen at a poker room for some time!

    Yes, but: Paradise is maybe not such a great room, it is difficult to find the real pro games. Many players can be naive and quick to bite, raising before they are sure of their hand.

    Will be nice to see a new poker room up there at poker.co.uk in June. But don't make the mistake other rooms have made. Keep it oriented towards the pros... After all, these are the guys who will keep coming back for the sport! The amateurs can then see what to work towards

    Do you have something against making money? I thank the poker gods for every bad player I encounter. They're the profit.

    Hello Freezey - I am in it for the money (it's how I make, and lose, most of mine!), but it's great to get the practice in against good players, that's where the real fun is for me!

    I agree with freezey.. you gotta love the 16 year old who has his parents credit card and thinks he's going to make a million bucks playing poker... the beauty of it being, of course, that he has tons of money and no skill. woo-hoo!

    ... though of course we promote responsible gambling (i.e. not by minors) here.

    What we need is a movie. A Top Gun for poker. To spin exaggerations and lies to the masses and recruit an army of fish.

    NB: Rounders doesn’t count because the poker (not the plot) was too factual.
