APAT Bunch of Fives tournaments are five tournaments, on five different days, across five poker variants, all costing five euros to play.

And all games are five thousand starting stack, and five handed! :D

Personally, I would prefer one "niche variant" rather than two - Stud and 5 Card Draw.. what is 5 card draw?! Heads up tournament might get more runners?

I look forward to playing the NLH and Omaha variants, great promotion.

5 card draw was my idea  :-\ I think we"ll evaluate it after one week, and if people dislike that variant, or think that 2 "niche" events is 1 too many, then we could make a change. I agree that HU would be a good replacement.

what is 5 card draw?!


OMG, how the world has changed! Who"d have thought we"d ever see that on a poker forum.

Mark, for years 5-Card Draw basically was poker in Britain and Ireland (and, presumably, everywhere else too). We would read in the newspapers about Terry Rogers and his friends playing this game from Las Vegas called No-Limit Texas Hold-em, but it sounded very risky and above our wallet, so we never bothered to find out how it worked.

I actually started playing Draw again on Stars a few months ago, for the first time in years. I thought it would be boring in comparison, but I"ve enjoyed it a lot and I keep dipping back in, so I"m pleased to see it on the list. Hope it stays.

OMG, epic LOLz.  8)

If you can adapt and learn NL Holdem then I will try and learn 5 card draw/stud/razz etc etc etc. Its like a poker game version of wife swap.

What MintTrav says above is true :)

I used to play loads of 5-card draw. Whenever we had a "poker night" back in the days of studentdom, it would always be this game.

Also, nobody knew the bloody rules for betting, and there was a lot of "I"ll call your 2p, and raise you 2p" (all betting was fixed limit, and as for the amounts - bear in mind we were poor students! :D)

I have only a rough idea how to play 7 card stud and I"m sure I won"t be the only one who is absolutely lost with PLO Hi Lo and 5 card draw. These games will obviously appeal to the "specialists" within APAT and why not..? It will be interesting to see how many people play Wed-Fri inclusive.

There may be others, like me, who think that if they can"t play all five then the prizes are out of their reach - in which case they may not play any at all. If the numbers weren"t to materialise on Wed-Fri, is there any scope for altering the weekly format ? Just asking...  ;)

But the scoring system is such that the advantage goes to those that are proficient in the more popular games. Say the Draw and Stud games only have 8 runners each yet the PLO has 20 runners, then 4th place in the PLO receives more points than someone who wins both the Stud AND Draw. Hence play just the popular games and you have every chance of winning.
