The Game of Draw Poker

by G.R. Williamson

Overview

An article on the brief history of Draw Poker - born and bred in the USA. In many ways the game is as American as, well mom and apple pie.
The article describes the first book on draw poker rules written by John W. Keller in 1887 and the effect it had on making the game a world-wide phenomena. It races the lineage to the game that would eventually become the wildly-popular, Texas Holdem'.
A great quick read on the origin of draw poker.
