Reshuffles in draw games

When are cards reshuffled in draw games?

In draw poker games such as 2-7 Triple Draw and Badugi, a reshuffle can happen when players need more cards than are left in the deck.

The remaining cards and the discarded cards are shuffled together to create a new deck. The hand then continues using the new deck. This can happen more than once if necessary.

 

Can I redraw a card I discarded?

No. You can't redraw a card that you previously discarded.

In single-draw games, your own discarded cards aren't shuffled back into the deck, so you can't redraw a card you discarded.

In multi-draw games, discarded cards are reshuffled into the deck when needed. You won't be dealt a card that you previously discarded.

For example, if you fold the deuce of spades, you won't receive it on a later draw.

 

Do reshuffles happen in stud games?

No. Reshuffles only happen in draw games.

In Seven Card Stud, if the deck runs out before all players receive their final card, a shared community card is used instead. It's dealt face up and is available for all players to use.
