2-7 Triple Draw Guide? Does it exist?

People are suddenly raving about 2-7 Triple Draw. Are there any guides or posts about this game and how to play as well as strategy? I can't find any!

Was just wondering the same thing myself. I'd be satisfied to have a quick guide to opening hands to play for both limit and NL.

i don't know but i'm betting 2's 7's and position are important.

Hehehe, finally my UB account's good for something!

Here's a quick primer How To Play Triple Draw | Poker Rules | UltimateBet.com

I hope a lot more people play now. Will take away from the burn out that sets in from a steady diet of NL Hold 'Em.

Hey Jilly I'm sittin at your table right now lol

I see that. You can see how badly I'm playing

Well on my other table I thought 65432 was good but forgot that straights dont count

It's kind of like a cross between 5 card draw and Razz. If you've played those, you can wrap your brain around it.

You'll get the hang of it quickly enough. Not like Badugi. Oh don't get me started on Badugi, only a hundred times trickier than triple draw or pineapple could ever be.

For limit I'm guessing that the worst hand I should start with is 3 to an 8 low?

Well that shit got real boring real fast. Mix the boredom of limit with the idk what I'm doing of 2-7, it spells disaster

LOL there was a player at the table that clearly thought that A played for low.

that would seem to be a good place to start from but for no limit u need to get very nut peddly, 8 lows are often no good in nl while in limit, playing 9 lows can be profitable

You and switch should go HU in 2-7

^^ i dont have that kinda patience for a triple draw freeze-out

woah now pantin, no limit 2-7 HU is anything but a freezeout, i won $80 in 15 minutes against some guy HU who kept buyin in for $20

Im so glad i mentioned the wonder of 2-7 to cc

First of all, it is a filthy bastard game that will rob your soul of its shine, remove the twinkle from your eye and leave you muttering to yourself at night. I hate this game the way normal poker players hate razz.

But if you must play it, some basic advice:

1) Don't start a hand OOP with less than three to a seven, preferably without a 6 (6s make it hard to make made hands without straights).

2) Do not forget that unlike razz, straights and flushes *do* count against you.

3) Position is incredibly important, you must bluff heavily and catch your opponents bluffing.

switch i was talking about limit, no limit cash game is a donkfest but there are some gooooood regs there

meh, i know 2 good regs

its so hard to give general advice on the game, since its impossible to give advice unless you know the circumstances of the hand. Just practice in general until you get to a stage where you can put people on hands and can fold and 8-7-4-3-2 low to a raise in heads up to have your villain show 7-6 low, then you know your at the stage where you can run over the game

best advice i can give, in the most modest way i can say this without sounding like a tool, pm me hh's and ill look over your stuff and give some adivce (preferably 50 hands or less at a time). Although i am by no means an expert, i am raking in the monies so i assume my tactics are worthy

looks like its time for playmoney nl 2-7 draw lessons with switch (steal from other beginners not us)

i'm sitting at 2-7 play money table at ultimate bet. join me if you can

meh playmoney will be kinda pointless, i learnt playing the lowest limit games first then moved up to 50nl when i knew what i was doing

tbh, the most important factor of the game is position is key, it means absolutely everything in a hand. It so hard to play a hand oop against someone who knows what they are doing

alright ill play for a bit, whats your screenname?? Sit at a table and ill find you

im about to sit on a table for the lowest limit stake game, and im also going to play at 50nl since the guy who i took a shedload of money from is back, so pick either table

yeah playmoney would be pointless if anyone else is at table. Have to be all cc taking it serious or don't bother. Imagine limit and nl w/ pot control is quite different and it starts at 50nl, high for most to start. Anyway i was half joking and i only have ps massimo, sorry.

Once you have 2-7 down, I've seen many people run this scam, they'll sit and the first 1 or 2 hands they'll showdown trips or 2 pair and everyone calls them a moron. Then after that they bust out the nuts and reap in loads of cash.

just downloaded pokerstars and am playing a free money table. screen name is zopoker

thats not just a 2-7 scam, its an actually tactic, have you read super system smd?? Mike caro says that when he sits at a table play 5 card draw, he will do things like 4 bet with q high, stand pat and lay his hand down face up, instantly creating a maniac lagtard image, he then reaps the rewards later.

anyway since noone came to join me im stopping for the night, took another $30 of the donk tard in 25 mins, yay

p.s. im posting 2 hands in the ring game hand analysis section which people might be interested to check up on just to see

also, p.m. me if you want me to look over hands or stuff

Been playing the buck sngs at PS for ages. It's a great way to test your patience, and kill an hour.

omce beat Greg Raymer out of a big pot in a ring game. That was the extent of my big $ excursion into the game.

FOCUS PEOPLE FOCUS.

I was hoping someone could point to (or write) a quick strategy guide for the game. Not brag about it.

Super system 2 has a whole section on 7-2 triple draw written by Daniel Negreanu.

Are you playing single or triple draw no-limit?

In single draw no-limit, a pat jack will often be the winner.

I've only seen triple draw, limit and NL, at PokerStars. Never seen a 2-7 single draw.

2-7 Single Draw is in the works for the WCOOP in early September (assumedly, it will show up in cash game/MTTs around that time frame as well or sooner to do testing.)
I'm personally waiting for Badugi to show up, but that may have to wait another year or 2 :-P

Yes and it is well writ and almost all u knead to dough.
