Default Re: Five Card Draw books.

If you are going to play online draw, where you use the 52 card deck, a SB/BB structure similar to holdem, and you can enter the pot with any hand, then read Wiesenberg's articles.

If this home game plays old-school draw, with antes instead of blinds, jacks-or-better to open, and a 53-card deck including the bug, then you'd want to check out the draw chapter in the original SuperSystem and/or Mason Malmuth's Winning Concepts in Draw and Lowball.

If you get serious about draw, there are other good old books (many out of print) you'll want to hunt down.

I bet if you read a few of Wiesenberg's articles that you'll likely be way ahead of most people at a home game. Remember, opening the pot with a limp is almost always wrong, two draw is often a trap hand and should be treated like a medium pair in holdem, not the nuts, and in most situations you should fold come hands.
