5 card draw

[phydaux]

Are there any good books that cover 5 card draw?

I figure that's the most popular "kitchen table" poker game, and it would be good to know well.

Malmuth wrote a Draw and Lowball book which is still popular. also Caro's chapter in Super System 1. however, five card draw online usually has no jokers and you can open with anything, so the strategies aren't necessarily compatible with the old school B&M rules.

there's this article in Cardplayer magazine with some modern internet strategy:

Yes, there are a bunch of them. Here are a few that cover the topic well:

Malmuth, "Winning Concepts in Draw and Lowball"
Fox, "Quit Work, Play Poker, and Sleep 'Til Noon"
Zadeh, "Winning Poker Systems"

The latter two are out of print, but aren't hard to find at reasonable prices. (Both still sit on book shelves of better Las Vegas book stores.) Mason's book is a tough read, but contains some great information.

There's other good information on the topic, but these are three top-notch books on the subject.
