Poker Variants - How to Play 2-7 Triple Draw

Now this is a poker game built for players who like to play a lot of hands. As the name implies this is a draw game, so you get to exchange cards during the game. Being able to toss out some cards and get a second chance at striking it rich can be a heady experience, but in 2-7 Triple Draw  you can do this not once, not twice, but three times during a hand. The constant switching out of cards has two important effects on the game. First, it can’t be played by ten people because you would run out of cards (most games are around five handed). Second, the luck factor gets ramped up big time, but the good news for conservative players is, the luck can work against players as often as for them.

Key Points to 2-7 Triple Draw

1. 2-7 Triple Draw is a low game, which means low hands win. If you are a fan of Hi/Lo or Razz games, then you are already familiar with this concept. In low games it is important to remember that the high cards are counted first, so your 2-3-4-5 is useless against your opponent’s 5-8-9-T-J if you are holding a Queen.
2. Unlike most Lo component games, in 2-7 Triple Draw the Ace is high. This is very important to remember as you really don’t want to lose all your money because you thought the Ace was low. The Ace is high—don’t forget.
3. In 2-7 Triple Draw you are dealt five cards and then have three opportunities to change them out. This results in both a lot of players playing a lot of hands, and luck swinging wildly around the table. For the new 2-7 Triple Draw player, here is the key: don’t play a lot of hands. You have to put money in to change out your cards, so chasing a hand with 9 high or worse is a mistake.
4. Play conservatively, play aggressively, just like in hold’em. Look for the monster hands (seven high hands in 2-7 Triple Draw) and then keep firing at the pot to score.
