I'd love to play some five card draw. Maybe not for high stakes but it would be fun to play for leisure. Five card draw, cribbage, and rummy are some of the first games I learned how to play. Also playing five card draw on the slots are really addicting. I'd definitely play some if it were implemented, I don't really remember the skill factor involved in it as it's been forever since I played but either way it will be fun.
Yeah, before 2003 when we talked about "poker" we meant 5 card draw. Might be kinda fun to splash around a bit again, but don't see playing it seriously.
The only thing I'd worry about with adding a bunch of games is splitting the player pool up even further. But, hopefully they'll actually bring in more players and all the games will be better off.
Five card draw is almost pure skill and application of game theory (the long-ago Ankeny book is probably more or less optimal play for the game). That actually makes it not terribly interesting, as bad players will rarely win and tend to go broke fast. That's also why five card stud is basically dead. NLHE has a lot of tolerance for people who routinely play dumb starting hands, but someone who continues in 5CS without at least an ace in the hole is going to go broke fast.
2-7 TD is still interesting, though again, it's a tricky game with skill predominating over luck, but not to as great an extent as, say, five card stud, which is virtually dead for that reason.
Alfred Hitchcock's "Crack Of Doom" is about no limit 5 card stud... pretty good episode.
