Many
I have debated in the past have dissected the
word "draw" to suit their argument,
yet in both table draw poker and video draw poker,
there is a second round of cards during the hand
where you are allowed to discard some of your
cards, and draw more cards with the hope of improving
your hand.
As
for me, a connoisseur of any kind of poker, I
swallow yes,
demi-glace with the finest Traverse City dried
cherries, red wine and shallots. If it looks,
walks and quacks like duck, it must be a duck,
even if your opponent is a cybernetic one-armed
bandit and not a big mouth mortal who happens
to have bad breath.
