2-7 Triple Draw Guide

December 31st, 2009 by Steven

This post may not be very interesting to most of my readers as this is a Stud poker website but I just launched a website on 2-7 Triple Draw ( http://www.2-7tripledraw.com ) and of course want to give it some publicity. Now that I think about it some of you may very well be interested in this classic card game. The reason for this is yet another card game, this time a variant, known as 8-Game Mix. This is a mixed poker game available only at Poker Stars. In 2009 it went from being a new mixed poker game with limited availability to the most played mixed poker variant online, beating even H.O.R.S.E poker.

8-Game Mix includes all of the popular poker games including all 3 betting formats, fixed, pot and no limit. Here is a look at the game line-up:

• Limit 2-7 Triple Draw
• Limit Texas Hold’em
• Limit Omaha Eight or Better (Hi/Lo)
• Razz Poker
• Limit Seven Card Stud
• Limit Stud Eight or Better (Hi/Lo)
• No Limit Texas Hold’em
• Pot Limit Omaha

I’ve mentioned this several times before but Stud poker players are typically the best mixed game players out there. This is because most mixed variants include at least one Stud poker variant and these games are usually the “weak spots” for most players, especially Razz. 8-Game Mix includes all 3 Stud versions so if you can handle your own in Hold’em and the Omaha games you can make a killing.

The only problem with 8-Game Poker from a Stud poker player’s perspective is 2-7 Triple Draw. What the hell is 2-7 Triple Draw? Full Tilt doesn’t offer it, Party Poker doesn’t offer it. Where did it come from? needless to say this game has prevented many Stud players from taking advantage of the loose action at the 8-Game Mix tables.

True, you can sit out during the 2-7 Triple Draw rotation or just fold every hand but there is a better way. Learning how to play a game as alien as 2-7 Triple Draw can be pretty intimidating, especially since it is nothing like Stud, Omaha or Hold’em. Having to draw is  bad enough but this game features 3 draws and its a lowball game. It gets even weirder, the rules of 2-7 Triple Draw state that:

• Aces are always high
• Straights count
• Flushes count

So 2-7 Triple Draw is very complex. It is important to remember though that complexity in a card game is a good this. The harder a game is the more you can win. Stud players are the most intelligent players in the poker community so mastering this game shouldn’t be a problem.

This is why I created a website about 2-7 Triple Draw. Currently it only contains the basic articles covering the rules, strategies and hand selection. It contains everything you need to know to get you started though. Here some links that you may find useful:
