how to play...

I know how to play this game somewhat, but I think to get this forum started, someone who plays regularly should post all the rules, how the betting action occurs, and maybe some general strategy.

As much as I hate to agree with you, that would be a good idea. I've always found the game somewhat confusing. Also the rules to similiar games,such as Ace to 5 lowball,etc.

http://www.pokernews.com/poker-rules/deuce...triple-draw.htmPretty straight forward.Never played before but it seems like position is huge in this game because draws are in order from the button.

Gamesgrid had a 2-7 triple draw tourney a while back There's a good section in SS2 that Daniel wrote - I read the section before I played in the tourney and did pretty well.Yeah, position is key in this game.

While I am no expert in this game I do understand it, and here the basic rules. It's set up like Hold'em in that there is a button and the player the immediate left of the button is the small blind an two seats over is the big blind. This is a six max game because of the number of cards that are used each hand. Triple draw is a limit game, and the betting pattern is the same as Hold'em. There are four betting rounds (pre draw, after the 1st draw, after the 2nd draw and after the final draw) the first two rounds are the small bets and the last two are the big bets. I believe in live games there is a cap of 5 bets on each round, but online at Ultimate Bet where I play it's the customary 4 bet cap. After the first 3 rounds of betting you have to option to draw up to 5 cards or stand pat (drawing zero) with the goal of making the best possible low hand. The biggest difference between this game and any other low game is that the Ace is only a high card and straights and flushes count against you. Therefore 23457 off suit is the best possible hand, followed by 23467, while 23456 is simply the best straight you can make and counts as a high hand. Essentially your goal is to make the worst possible hand. That's about it for the basic rules.

What are a few games included in that chart and where might I find one like it? I've been thinking about an excel sheet like that, but no sense re-inventing the wheel.Thanks in advance
