32 Draw Poker Rules

Basics to 32 Draw Poker

32 Draw Poker can be played using the No Limit, Pot Limit and Fixed Limit format.

Players

As a result of the stripped deck, there is a maximum of 5 players allowed to play at the table at any given time.

Dealer

A button is used to indicate the dealer for the purposes of blinds. The deal rotates in a clockwise manner.


Game Setup

32 Draw poker uses a stripped deck of cards. Low value cards from 2-6 are removed leaving 32 cards. The remaining cards in play are 7-8-9-10-J-Q-K-A

The lowest possible straight is A-7-8-9-10 (Ace counting as low).

Unlike standard poker, a Flush beats a Full House. This is due to the increased difficulty of hitting a flush as a result of the stripped deck.

Incase of a tie, the winner is determined by suit. The suits are ranked, Hearts (Highest), Diamonds, Clubs and Spades (Lowest).

If all players agree beforehand, a split pot may be called into action in the event of a tie.
