The Draw.

They who go In" with hands the best,
viii come out" better than the rest
It's what they draw to-" and have
"co,d,"
And not "all in the draw" as told.
Drawing three cards. you're we'll aware.
once in three times improves a pair;
As once in five two pair you find,
And once in eight three of kind.
When they don't fiji. good time TO drive;
And very often (by mistake),
They raise it," when the flush don't
make.
Drawing for flushes ought to pay.
When five or six go in" and stay;
OR when there's any chance TO win,
Five times the cost of goinS in.
With pair. and double chance for straight,
Break any pair below the eight;
just one in six make straights you will
It's once in twelve that two pair I'LL
With -four flush and tens or under,
Break the pair-more chance for plumber
With "aces up" and "threes" TO beat,
Draw three, if others don't complete.
With little pair" (and 'little pot,')
II you improve" you better not;
It's three to one that when you do,
You make a bet, and lose II. too.
You make "three's" and bet the limit,
Chance is even you don't win it;
'1ts odds" three duces will not win,
II made with all the others in!
with ace and small pair. chance is fair
One to five you beat all two pair;
You once In eight make "aces and"
And once in twelve have "three's" In
hand.
Drawing one to three of kind,
Is done just only for blind.
by drawing two you improve more,
AS 'fOurs" make once In twenty-four.
Draw two, or one (the hand to SCREEN.
You make full hand once In sixteen:
By making "fours" is twice as hard
When You hold up" and draw one card.
When you have "threes" and pot is small,
And you draw one to fool them all.
That you Improve" it's one to 'leyen,
AS 'fours" make once in forty-seven.
With any "threes." you understand.
Flushes or straights will beat your hand
It's one in nine, II two You take.
That you have "fours" or full hand"
make.
Sometimes with "threes" you have more
fun.
Ry "holding up" and drawing one:
But in big pots, when all go in.
Draw two-you may need ''fours" to win
With 'four-straight flush" YOU always
stay,
Don't raise! you want them all to play
And once in three. make straight or more
And 'straight-fiush" Cnce IN twentyfour
Four straights Inside" will often pay,
In lack pots when all others play
Once in twelve times you make a straight
Which wins the pot SIX times in eight
With single-straight and "three-fush, "
too,
Draw for the straight Cand most all do)
But for the flush, If amy show"
To make straight, and flush, also.
Some play "three-fush" tstrange they
wild,
And only one in twenty fill
With Experimentation" the chance Is
It's one in ten you beat two pair
Sometimes It pays when naught you hold
Then others call. you win two-fold
When you have straights and fiushes
"cold."
Some with two Jacks don't draw at all
CThen some with two pair may not calD
When others draw one card, you see,
If some one fills, they don't want three
sometimes with small ''threes' they dc
that,
And If they lose, It's only lent,
They win more on good hands content
With two pair. when all others play.
Draw one. and make full hand. you may
Then II others draw one. or two,
It's ten to one they can't beat you.
With ace. king. and all others small,
Take three cards, IL you draw at all,
And two. in five make kings, or more
With only one high card, draw four.
With average pair and others In.
It's ten to one that you don't win:
With lowest pair 'gainst ALI the rest
You once in twenty come out" best.
Most any pair and little sand"
VIII often beat a frst-rate hand
Blut'ing pays enc hand in twenty,
Some more. when chips are plenty.
Players who never bluff at all,
Don't win much and make losses small
When they so better there's no doubt
or course the others all keep out.
With all two pair or three" If small.
CI'hough even chance you beat them alb
On the go in bet the limit
Not have all the others lin II.
