Editing Five-card draw (section)

== Stripped deck variant ==
Five-card draw is sometimes played with a [[stripped deck]]. This variant is commonly known as "seven-to-ace" or "ace-to-seven" (abbreviated as A-7 or 7-A). It can be played by up to five players. When four or fewer players play, a normal 32-card deck without jokers, with ranks ranging from ace to seven, is used. With five players, the sixes are added to make a 36-card deck. The deck thus contains only eight or nine different card ranks, compared to 13 in a standard deck. This affects the probabilities of making specific hands, so a [[flush (poker)|flush]] ranks above a [[full house (poker)|full house]] and below [[List of poker hands#Four of a kind|four of a kind]]. Many smaller [[online poker]] rooms, such as [[Boss Media]], spread the variant, although it is unheard of in brick-and-mortar casinos.
