DRAW POKER

26. The Draw, (a) When each player has exactly called thehighest previous bet, without raising, or has dropped, the firstbetting interval ends. The dealer picks up the undealt portionof the pack, and each active player in turn to his left may discard one or more cards, whereupon the dealer gives him thatnumber of cards, face down, from the top of the pack. A playerneed not draw unless he so chooses.

(b) If the dealer is an active player, he must announce how many cards, if any, he is drawing. At any time following the draw and before the first player in turn bets or checks in the final betting interval, any active player may ask any other active player how many cards he drew. The latter player must answer, but the questioner has no redress if the answer is incorrect. [It is considered unethical, however, to give an incorrect answer intentionally.]
