    Abstract: Various poker games playable with a standard 52-card deck permit card exchanges (redraws). Some games are in a stud poker format and permit three separate rounds of buy-backs wherein each player is allowed to discard any card from his hand for a new card dealt from the deck, after paying progressively higher exchange fees. This game may be played as high-low poker also. In a second disclosed stud poker game, the dealer deals three non-community cards to each player and three community cards, which are available to all players. Three rounds of card exchanges are permitted, one card per player per round. When played as high-low, this number of redraws affords significant opportunity for a player to hedge play between high and low and keeps many players in the game for longer periods. Also, most players exchange cards for cost and thereby further enhance the funds available for distribution. Another redraw poker game is played as five-card, high only poker.
