2-7 Triple Draw

2-7 triple draw poker is a favorite amongst many old time players. It made a huge comeback in 2009 due to its inclusion in 8-Game Mix, the most popular mixed poker game at Pokerstars. The traffic at the 2-7 triple draw tables has grown considerably since then. This article will go over the rules and some of the top strategies for 2-7 triple draw poker. It is one of the most complex poker games out there so I suggest that you put some time in at the play money or micro stakes tables before you try your link at the higher stakes tables.

 

2-7 Triple Draw Lowball Rules

 

The rules of 2-7 triple draw are both simple and complicated at the same time. 2-7 triple draw is a variant of a game we all know and love, 5 card draw. Those of you who haven’t played the actual card game have surely played it in the form of video poker sometime in your life. There are some major differences between these games though:

 

  • 2-7 triple draw has three draws instead of one
  • In 2-7 triple draw you want the lowest hand, not the highest
  • Aces are always high
  • Straights and flushes count as high

 

You might be thinking you’re in over your head right now but I can assure you that once you get the basics down the rest will come easily. As I mentioned above you should try out the play money tables first. Everyone makes a few mistakes regardless of how much they read about 27 Triple Draw lowball so you might as well make them there. This experience will also give you some knowledge on the average winning hand and how others tend to play.

 

2-7 Triple Draw Tip & Strategy

 

27 Triple Draw is available in both fixed and no limit formats so the strategies can differ between the two formats. With this in mind I will focus on universal 27 triple draw strategies that will help you regardless of which format you want to play. The most important 2-7 triple draw tips I can give you is hand selection. Below are some examples of good and bad 2-7 triple draw starting hands and how you should play them:

 

  • 2-4-7-Q-Q: If there are no raises call the blind and discard the two queens
  • 5-6-9-J-Q: The only time you should play a hand like this is if there are no raises and you are in the small or big blind. You’d either keep the 569 or just the 56 depending on the number of players in the hand and how many cards they drew, which you might not know depending on your position.
  • 2-3-9-J-K – This is a terrible hand that should only be played if you’re playing heads-up. You’d keep the 239.

 

So much depends on your position at the table I can’t really give you a set guide on hand selection. As a general rule of thumb you should play starting hands with 3 cards that are 8 or less and raise with 4 cards of 8 or less. The average winning hand at a full 6 seat ring table is around 8-9 high.
