In draw poker, what is the general rule: can you always draw 5 new cards or do you have to have an ace to draw more than 3? I know that is a typical house rule, but is it the "official" one?

Of course not, as that would require you to prove everytime that you do in fact have an ace in your hand

Thanks, I know some people who play with that rule and I found it odd.

I don't think you know any people that play by that rule

Really how could it work? You show your cards to everyone to indeed prove that you have an ace in your hand?

scroll down to house rules

Yes, basically it mentions that you can hold one as a wildcard, its need of an ace is just to emphasize that it makes sense to hold it. But there is no need to have one, as it is never shown to other people to begin with.

what is this Draw poker exactly is Is it some other variation of the poker ?? I really need to understand this can you guys tell me a bit more about this ??

Well...you can read what the few people above you posted. They gave some brief explanations but ptsouth posted that really good article as well. Here is the link again in case you missed it.
