example, there is 1 potsize bet left after the first draw, durrr draws 2 and galfond draws 1 oop. galfond is going to dark shove everytime because math.
in straight draw poker (single draw) you are realistically either drawing 1, 3, or staying pat. drawing 1 = flushdraw, straight draw, two pair, trips, quads. drawing 3 = buried pair. nobody draws 2 with trips for balance purposes.
the non-linearity between number of cards to draw and actual hand strength in draw makes a lot of valuebetting situations a little murky, and as a result it's not a heavy action game.
