I have not played 2-7 single draw much and thought today I will have a go. I thought the object was to get the lowest hand possible which I thought I did.



I looked at my last hand played as I was expecting the chips to come my way but they didn't what did I miss.

Thanks I did not know that. I will have to learn the game properly next time before I enter another one. At least it was only a freeroll so no money lost :D

when I first jumped into lowball I made the same mistake luckily at micro stakes.

I prefer the triple draw though.

Lol it is an easy mistake to make

I bet a lot of people have made the same mistake. Luckily it was a micro stake so you did not lose too much :)

Rookie mistake because this happens to most of us in the beginning! I had the same thing happened to when I started playing! lol I suck at this game though so I tend to get away from it!

Oh, I miss this game on poker stars! I've done the same thing (I think probably everyone has). Just remember, it's not Razz! :p
