Question

What do you do if someone can't call a bet because they don't have enough chips?

Community Answer

If they want to stay in and not fold they would go "all in" with what they have but keep their chips separate from the main pot. Their chips then would be matched from the main pot if they win or taken by the winner.

Question

What if it is a tie, both players have the same hand with different suits (e.g., two Royal Flushes)?

Community Answer

If it is a tie I think you are meant to split the pot of money, at least that's one way to do it.

Question

What happens if the pot goes around once and nobody opens?

Goldfirebird8

Community Answer

If everyone checks, you typically move on to the next round, leaving the ante in the pot and redealing, with the next person starting the betting.

Question

Which hand wins: a full house with 2 Kings and 3 Sevens or a full house with 3 Queens and 2 Fours?

Goldfirebird8

Community Answer

The full house with Queens over Fours wins because the rank of the three-of-a-kind is considered first.

Question

Can I open the first round without betting money in five card draw with no blinds?

Goldfirebird8

Community Answer

You can check, which means you are not betting money yet. If someone else bets, the betting will return to you, and you will decide whether to call, raise, or fold. "Opening" refers to making a bet, not just checking.

Question

Do I bet before the first draw in Five Card Draw?

Goldfirebird8

Community Answer

Yes, you bet before the first draw, after everyone has been dealt their five cards. There are two rounds of betting: one after the deal and another after everyone has a chance to draw.
