Best Hands in 2-7 Triple Draw

The rules of 2-7 Triple Draw make it so the best hand you can have is actually the the lowest (conventional) poker hand. Aces will count as high cards, while flushes and straights will count against you. The best possible hands are made using five of the following six cards: seven – six – five –four – three – and two (but not as a flush). To start betting aggressively in Triple Draw, you will need a hand that contains at least a deuce and a seven combined with another low card. You will have three rounds to draw to a nut hand while being able to bet and put pressure on your opponents the whole time.

Your position at the Triple Draw table is very important in deciding what your strategy will be. The best position in any game of poker is usually the late position, optimally the button. Being the one to act last is so powerful because you get to use the most information to your advantage. Each person that acts before you is going to tell you something about their hand by how many cards they draw or whether they decide to bet or not. This will allow you to accurately know how many cards you need to throw away and draw or maybe even just fold your hand and save some chips.

2-7 Triple Draw Betting Strategy

The number of cards that you elect to draw should be a big determinant in how aggressively you bet during 2-7 Triple Draw. For instance, if you are drawing one or no cards, you obviously have a strong hand and should bet accordingly. The fewer cards that you have discarded, the more aggressive you should bet. If your opponents are drawing one or no cards, you can also discern that they have a strong hand and bet accordingly based on what you are holding.

Whether you play an aggressive game or a more laid back and timid game is determined by the number of cards that you need to draw during each drawing round. For example, if you are standing pat or drawing only one card, your hand is obviously strong and your bets should be just as strong. The lesser the number of cards that you have discarded, the stronger your betting and playing style should be, and vice versa. The same goes for reading your opponents’ actions – if they are throwing down just a card or two or standing pat, they either have a strong hand or are attempting a good bluff. You’ll learn better how to be a good judge of that the longer you play Deuce to Seven Triple Draw.

2-7 (Deuce to Seven) Triple Draw Lowball is a poker game in which the low poker hand wins the pot at showdown. In other words, it is a form of ‘Lowball’. It is a ‘draw’ game, meaning that you are dealt five cards, and may discard from zero to five of them on the draw, and receive that number of replacement cards. In Triple Draw, each player (maximum 7 per table) has the opportunity to draw three times, though you may ‘stand pat’ (not discard any cards) on any or all of the draws.

How to Play 2-7 Triple Draw

First, it’s important to understand that the hand rankings are different in 2-7 than in other low games. In 2-7, straights and flushes count against your low hand, and aces are always high. So the best possible hand is: 7, 5, 4, 3, 2. The following 2-7 hands (not a complete list) are ranked from least powerful (#1, which will rarely win the pot) to most powerful (#16, the nuts):

1. J, 7, 4, 3, 2 (all the same suit - a flush)
2. 8, 7, 6, 5, 4 (a straight)
3. 7, 6, 5, 4, 3 (a lower straight)
4. 5, 5, 5, 6, 3
5. 2, 2, 7, 6, 5
6. A, 9, 6, 4, 2
7. A, 8, 7, 4, 2
8. A, 5, 4, 3, 2 (not a straight - ace-high)
9. K, J, 8, 7, 4
10. T, 7, 5, 4, 3
11. T, 6, 5, 4, 3
12. T, 6, 5, 4, 2
13. 9, 7, 6, 4, 3
14. 8, 6, 4, 3, 2
15. 7, 6, 4, 3, 2
16. 7, 5, 4, 3, 2

Blinds

Draw games are played using forced bets known as blinds, with the player sitting to the left of the dealer button posting a small blind, and the player to their left posting the big blind. The small blind is usually equal to half the size of the big blind. Lowball is also sometimes played with an ante, which is a small forced bet posted by each player in addition to the blinds.

The Deal

Each player is dealt five cards face down. There is then a round of betting, where you have the option to either call, raise, or fold. Players still left in the hand after the first round of betting now have the opportunity to draw. That is, each player selects which (if any) cards he wishes to discard by clicking on them. By clicking a second time on a card that you have planned to discard, you remove it from the discard set. You can discard all five cards if you wish. If you feel that you already have a strong hand, you can opt to ‘Stand Pat’. This means that you are choosing not to discard any of your cards. Discarding continues around the table clockwise. When it is your turn to discard, you press the button to confirm you wish to discard the selected cards.

After the first draw, there is another round of betting, beginning with the first active player to the left of the button.

There are two more draws with a round of betting following each one, resulting in three draws total, and four rounds of betting. If more than one player is still left in the hand at this point, a showdown takes place, with the player holding the best hand taking the pot.

So the sequence of action is:

• Five cards dealt to each player
• Betting round #1, beginning with player to left of big blind
• Draw #1, beginning with player to left of button
• Betting round #2, beginning with player to left of button
• Draw #2, beginning with player to left of button
• Betting round #3, beginning with player to left of button
• Draw #3, beginning with player to left of button
• Betting round #4, beginning with player to left of button
• Showdown (if necessary)

Showdown - Determining the Winner

The player with the best five-card 2-7 hand wins the pot. After the pot is awarded to the best hand, a new game of 2-7 Triple Draw is ready to be played.

If two or more hands have the same value, the pot is equally split among them. There is no rank of suit for the purposes of awarding the pot. Please remember, this is different from other forms of low or high/low poker, where an ace can be played either high or low. In 2-7, an ace is always the highest card.
