2-7 Single Draw

I'm new to Single Draw. I'm seeing a lot of raising preflop and standing pat when someone has a 10 Low. Wouldnt you want to finish with better than a 10?

My home game recently added this to our rotation, I like the game. I find that a 10 is a good hand to check down, but if the action gets too hot, it's not likely very good. Depending on my position, opponents draws, and predraw action determines if I stand pat or not. Here's a sample hand from my home game last week.

I was in the SB for $.25, it was limped 4 way. I had 10 7 6 5 2. I stood pat with my 10. BB drew 3, UTG drew 2, button drew 3. I figured it's likely they probably didn't catch 2 cards under a 10 that didn't pair one of their cards so I led out for $2, the size of the pot. BB folded, and UTG raised to $7, button folded, and I called and he picked up a K, trying to bluff me off a hand like a 10 or a 9.

I've only played maybe 20-30 hands of it, but I like the game and think I have a decent feel for it, I'll let you know how tomorrow night goes.

I love the game as well. Some thing happened today in the game I was in. First hand. Big stack drew 2. then raised my 9 low. I called and he had 2 pair. Needless to say, his stack begin depleting. Shocking

I'm enjoying the game so far....I agree with checking down the 10.

A jack low hand is favored over a one card draw, so raising and standing pat with a ten low, assuming the player can get heads up, isn't a bad play. Multiway is a different story.

Does anyone know of any books on this game? I think Super System only covers triple draw.

Against two players a pat nine is a favorite over two 1 card draws.

A ten can often be an equity favorite as well, depending on the draws.
