    There are two main things to take into consideration when playing 5 Card Draw. The first and most important is learning when to stay in the game and bet up and when to fold and let the hand go. Usually any hand you have which goes better than a high pair is probably better left to fold. When you have a high pair or better, stay in for as much as you think your hand is worth. Or more importantly, stay in and bet what you think the other players who are still in think their hand’s are worth. The second key to being a successful player right from the start is to keep your opponents guessing. You if you continually draw 3 cards the other players will assume you are holding a pair. Vary your style to keep them guessing as to what you are holding while also learning to predict their hands by the moves and bets they make.
