It's the most original poker there is...it is called 5 hand draw, and you get rid of cards you don't want to see if you can get something better in return...w/e shows in ur hand is what you have vs the other ppl hands

Lol It is 2-7 single draw. Similar to razz but ace is high.

^^^ This. That's why it's 2-7 and not A-6.

Also, in 2-7 lowball, straights and flushes do count, so 7h5h4h3h2h would lose to KQJT8 rainbow.

Heard of single-draw and triple-draw ...
Is there a double-draw variant?

Not that I've ever heard of. Just single or triple draw as far as I know.
